Super Tuesday is in 4 Days and Buttigieg has not released any medical records. [View all]

Why?

All the other candidates, even including Sanders, have released at least some medical information.

If people want full disclosure from Sanders, wouldn't it make sense for Pete to release his own records to pressure Bernie into doing that?

Pete is by far the youngest candidate and was in the military fairly recently, so I remain baffled why he has not released his medical records.

Don't the voters have a right to see those? Especially before Super Tuesday?

And please, don't shoot the messenger for asking this question. It just seems like it's getting very late in the 2020 primary to not have released at least a summary of his medical condition.

As a Warren supporter, I think it only reasonable for Buttigieg to release as much information as she has before Super Tuesday.

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

I think a silly question if you cannot see the obvious. An 80 yr old man who had an heart attack LizBeth Feb 2020 #1

I see that Buttigieg is the only candidate not to release any medical information. bluewater Feb 2020 #3

Again, that you are seriously having this conversation makes me smile. LizBeth Feb 2020 #5

Warren has released her medical info, why hasn't Buttigieg? bluewater Feb 2020 #7

Who is your candidate? HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #8

bernie promised full disclosure then back tracked. he said he would then did not. nt msongs Feb 2020 #2

And that explains why Buttigieg has not relased any medical information? bluewater Feb 2020 #4

Not a Pete gal, myself, but you can see he's a healthy young man. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #6

Then why hasn't Buttigieg released any medical information? Warren has and she is 70 yeard old. bluewater Feb 2020 #9

Probably doesn't want to embarrass the oldsters. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #11

Terrific answer to a ludicrous OP and question HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #15

Thanks. Pete's up against his grandparents, basically-- BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #17

Yeah, Sanders supporters should worry about Bernie's health. HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #18

So you can tell from outward appearance when a person is healthy or unhealthy? Tarc Feb 2020 #22

Just common sense. He was in the Navy recently, and deployable world-wide. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #23

That's not how that works. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #31

Valid question! dumptrump1 Feb 2020 #10

This is a perfectly valid question. Has anybody asked him about it? And, if so, what patricia92243 Feb 2020 #12

Releasing medical records goes to transparency dlk Feb 2020 #13

I'm surprised that he hasn't AngelicaHora Feb 2020 #14

So, no explanation on why Warren has released medical info and Buttigieg has not? bluewater Feb 2020 #16

Yes I agree with you AngelicaHora Feb 2020 #20

He should release them. Why not? MoonRiver Feb 2020 #19

I know. I don't uderstand why Pete is being given a pass on this. bluewater Feb 2020 #21

Agreed. stopbush Feb 2020 #30

He's sick with a cold right now, cut the guy some slack! 2naSalit Feb 2020 #24

Are we sure it's just "a cold"? LOL. n/t zackymilly Feb 2020 #26

It might be that you're the first one to ask him to? tritsofme Feb 2020 #25

Has it always been common to release them? Hav Feb 2020 #27

My response would be sdfernando Feb 2020 #28

I can only speak for me, but I don't care. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #29
