2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Needs to Release her Medical Records! [View all]HeartoftheMidwest
(309 posts)100. To be honest, I guess I WOULD like to see Mrs. Clinton's medical evaluation.
But not from a tiny, 3 county medical group in New York state ( Mount Kisco Medical Group?? Really?? ) Not that they aren't competent people there in NY, but seriously, with her government health care, shouldn't she have long-standing records going back decades at really large medical centers like Walter Reed?? Or some big D.C. health organization?
To pull out one letter, from a doctor she's only seen for the last 15 ( or 14 ) years...since 2001.
Perhaps she has more information on her other 53 years?
Her "release" seems restricted, partial, and cherry-picked.
And when he's ready, or wants to, I'm sure Senator Sanders will release whatever information he deems appropriate.

Ageism stinks. The demand for Bernie's records was based on a bigoted premise. Period.

Bet all you want, if you are worried about health O'Malley is probably the right candidate.
