1 Letter To A Slimy CEO, 1 To Medicare And, "I feel like I owe my life right now to Bernie Sanders"

To all DUers perpetuating the Sanders canard, "What has Bernie done?", this video is but one example of how far off you are. As the patient herself states at time index 1:48 of this video, "If he can do that as a U.S. Senator, what can he do as President?"



and in case you plan to claim this as a campaign stunt, all of the documentation below shows what Bernie achieved as a sitting senator. In other words, this occurred in his official capacity.

I welcome your added context most warmly.

On a related note, this achievement by Bernie reminds me of something else commendable (and deftly clever).

Good senators and representative do stuff like this for their constituents. Frankel did. Now we see Bernie has.

Do you ever wonder when the last time Mitch McConnell went out of his way to help a constituent?

not the enemy! You can not like what he said on this occasion or that occasion or didn't like what he did in this instance or that. But to just put him in a box and toss him away is foolish in my opinion.

Thank you for caring, Bernie Sanders!!
