Bernie Sanders Insists He'll Keep Pledge to Release Medical Records Before Iowa Caucuses

[ProudToBeLiberal]

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has said that he plans to release his medical records before the Iowa caucuses on Monday. But with just five days to go, his campaign is not saying when exactly those records will be made public.

Mr. Sanders first said several weeks ago that he would release the records. Then he told CNN’s Chris Cuomo during a town­hall­style meeting on Monday that he planned to make the records public before caucus day, which will be the first test of whether he can beat Hillary Clinton and go on to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I have been blessed with good health and good endurance,” Mr. Sanders told Mr. Cuomo. “And there’s nothing in the medical records that is going to surprise anybody. And we will get them out as soon as possible.”

He also looked to his wife as he assured Mr. Cuomo that he would release the records.

“Absolutely. They’re sitting — where are they, Jane? They’re on our table
right now? All right. We will release them,” Mr. Sanders said.

1. He will probably release it five minutes before the next debate..

Just like he did his health-plan.

9. Notice the retort is more ad hom, I'm almost thinking we have to get them to die a slow...

... one less they go nuts.

Maybe he win IA, lose NH and then get trounced in the rest of the states...

14. So Hillary and Co. won't have time to lie about it

Just like they do with his health care plan.

19. Well played!

[HassleCat]

4. I hope he refuses

No political candidate should release his or her medical records. We need to stop making politics a contest of ridiculous, competing demands. "My sperm count is 25 thousand, and I challenge my opponent to release his sperm count so the voters can determine who is the better man!"

5. Next, you're gonna tell me they shouldn't release their tax records. nt

13. Exactly.. a letter not records!!! Big difference!!!

[Ferd Berfel]

15. Truly different. Not even in the same ball park

I asked for her health records ......."My baby just wrote me a letter....."


And why would anyone believe a "memo" from her?

[frylock]

17. Try again.

[Armymedic88]

18. What do you mean?

As someone with a medical background I am truly concerned about her health. And a Dr note has no relevance to true medical conditions.

20. I was replying to the poster who tried to pass off a doctor's note as medical records.

[Motown_Johnny]

16. That was a doctor's note. No actual records n/t
