Sen. Sanders' "Too Big To Fail" Bill Isn't a Serious Proposal

86. He'd be better off avoiding this

Politicians like him that fires up the populist-progressive wings are held to these incredible high standards to constantly sponsor legislation that makes it way past a President's signature is being sold as some sort of uneffective extremist which isn't true because he generally ranks in the top 10 of Senate behaviors including sponsoring legislation that passes, but also bills out of committee, powerful cosponsors, and working with House (top 5 here). He also rarely misses votes, showing up to do his job which he works very hard at (Elizabeth Warren trials far behind but she is effective on Committees which Bernie Sanders is as well, I like them both but know he is very good at his job).

Unfortunately the lies overshadow the truth and this is ammo for his critics. His Sanders-McCain bill at the height of the so-called VA scandal, convinced McCain to hire more nurses, doctors, and staff -- of course private hospitals cover more patients. There is one hospital centrally located of the 7th largest metropolitan areas that treats patients of the entire state who some are ripping them off for travel pay -- "travel pay fraud" is indeed quite common but no other hospital gives me travel pay on my way out -- or a $50,000 bill for a bed, an IV, and a couple of meals.
