Bernie voted for CHIP.

Bernie did vote against part of the budget CHIP was attached to, because we had control of the WH, House AND Senate anyway. It was a performative vote to signal that it wasn't enough when Democrats had the chance to finally implement single payer and didn't.

I believed Hillary was just forced to concede ambitions of single payer because DC sucks all the up to her specifically coming out against it in 2016. I didn't even believe it until a little while after that, I really just didn't want to.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Sad commentary on the esteem she held for her own father. George II Oct 2019 #31

Yes. I honestly believe you're on the right track. NurseJackie Oct 2019 #35

Indeed - I just have to wonder how her mother felt hearing this. (nt) ehrnst Oct 2019 #49
