29. Wanna See "Creaky?" Try Privatization of Medicare e.g., Medicare Advantage Plans

Terrible... Fight Fight Fight... that is all the patients and the doctors do. As to Senator Sanders... A Registered Nurse that I work with told me the other day she met Bernie in D.C when she was lobbying for Universal Health Care with National Nurses United... She said Bernie was very nice and in tune with their values. She also noted that Bernie gave a little talk to all of her cohorts and herself on Universal Health Care. So THIS is nothing new to Bernie.

Bernie deserves our vote so we should give him a shot at carrying the ball forward. He has integrity and can be trusted to do as he has said he will do... K and R!
