1. Clinton said Sanders did not support her health plan. That is true, he was supporting Single Payer

as a way to advance access for all. Except, single payer had less chance then than it does now. He was absent when Clinton and the Prez, and those who supported her plan as the best way forward. needed his support to advance some kind of health plan. Because of his, and others, lack of support here we sit almost 25 years later debating the same dang thing.

She did not lie, she just didn't make it plain enough -- Sanders' inflexibility on health care may well have delayed meaningful legislation for over 20 years.

6. When did she say he didn't support her plan? Why did she thank him?

And Bernie not only was there when Obama needed his support he used his influence to get important provisions added to the ACA.

Stop trying to rewrite history, leave that to Hillary.

8. Really? You have a link for that? Because she thanked him AND invited him to appear with her

at a health care event in Dartmouth.

Why oh why would she personally thank and invite a person to share a podium with her if she did not feel that he had her back.

It was a giveaway to the insurance companies and big pharma. It died a well-deserved death.

Must run in the family. Slick Willy wasn't the most honest politician either.

She's a caricature of a politician.
