100. To be honest, I guess I WOULD like to see Mrs. Clinton's medical evaluation.
Sat Jan 16, 2016, 09:51 PM
Jan 2016

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.
