Will cancer-stricken @SenJohnMcCain help a draft-dodger who called him a loser take health care from millions? Then this will be his legacy.

I don't see it that way. I see it as McCain voting to get on to actually debating and amending the bill in a non-partisan fashion as a properly functioning senate should. In his speech he said that although he was voting to send it to debate, he certainly wouldn't vote in favor of the bill in its current form.
All in all, I think McCain nailed that speech. He called out the bipartisanship that has gripped politics of late. He called out Trump as the Senate's equal, not their superior. Good on him.
