Sanders says he won't release full medical records

[left-of-center2012]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Tuesday he will not release any more medical records during his presidential bid, arguing he’s already released sufficient information to quell concerns about his health.

Sanders, the current front-runner for the Democratic nomination, has faced questions about his health since he suffered a heart attack in October. He insisted at a CNN town hall Tuesday night that the release of three letters from his doctors at the end of December declaring him healthy were sufficient disclosures.

“We have released, I think … quite as much as any other candidate has. We released two rather detailed letters from cardiologists and we released a letter that came from the head of the U.S. Congress medical group, the physicians there. So I think we have released a detailed report, and I’m comfortable with what we have done,” he said.

When pressed on if he would disclose any further information, Sanders responded, “I don’t think we will, no.”

1. What's a full medical record?

2. Obvious evidence

of major health issues.

3. He is breaking a promise made. Good health records are easy to release. Bad records results

in promises broken.

6. I'm bothered he's breaking a promise...

Otherwise, it doesn't bother me he's not releasing them. He obviously would scrub them anyway for anything too worrisome, like a mental issue or something terminal.

8. I want to see what happened with his heart and the only way to scrub a scan is to provide a false

one. I care because Sanders does not like my party or my Democratic leaders which has me questioning who he would chose for a VP. So yes, his heart attack matters, especially at 80.

5. Candidates have a long history of doing this, JFK hid his or he would never been president

7. What happens if @BernieSanders becomes the nominee & then suffers another heart attack?
