@rchusid Maybe just for a change, Bernie should propose the solution instead of standing in the way until someone else does the heavy lifting.
@AlliFlowers He has proposed solutions, repeatedly. He has done more "heavy lifting" on proposing health care legislation than anyone else around.
@rchusid By blocking NIH nominee? That is absolutely obstruction!
@AlliFlowers That is far from all he is doing. The more serious obstruction is being done by those blocking efforts to lower drug prices? Don't you understand how big a problem this is? Why do you object to working to lower drug prices?
@rchusid I’m absolutely not against lowering drug prices. I am against putting it off.
@AlliFlowers Then you should back Sanders in his efforts to lower drug prices rather than to deny his significant efforts with unfair comments like, "Bernie should propose the solution instead of standing in the way until someone else does the heavy lifting."
@rchusid I still believe in bringing a solution rather than just complaining.
@AlliFlowers That is what Sanders is doing--proposing solutions. He needs to make noise due to all of the efforts to obstruct his efforts to lower drug prices (and healthcare reform in general).
@rchusid name one solution he’s actually written legislation on, nm, you can’t. Your a bro.
@JJPeterson Medicare for All among many other pieces of legislation he has been involved with.
@AlliFlowers That is nonsense to say he needs to do it again. He is doing it now. It is the Democrats (along with Republicans) who are obstructing any real change to lower health care costs.
