In exchange for his vote on the ACA, Bernie Sanders held out until he got a big chunk of money for Community Health Centers.


Health centers to get hefty cash boost to expand primary-care services

When the fate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was in question, independent Senator Bernie Sanders was no easy “yea” vote.

The single-payer, Medicare-for-All type of system that he favored was never on the table, and the final bill didn’t include a public option. He also felt the legislative process had catered too much to the interests of the healthcare industry, which had spent over $1.4 million per day lobbying to get the bill it wanted.

But Sanders knew Democrats desperately needed his vote. He used that leverage in a successful fight to increase funding for community health centers—comprehensive clinics in medically underserved areas that provide doctors, dentists, mental health counselors and prescription drugs on a sliding-scale fee so that nobody is turned away.

1. If Warren doesn't run, and Bernie does, I might send my fortune to him.

No kids, no reason to save my money.

Sick to death of Clinton types, the best I can do for future generations is to fight the power and support the good.
