if there were any kind of support or backing for Sanders' legislation ...

Alas - as is almost always the case with Bernie ...

Edit: no disrespect toward the Senator - while many will herald him as 'fighting the good fight' - at the same time, I feel compelled to point to the fact that this is in fact 99% ineffectual. And with Sanders - that's largely what you get.

I'm compelled to point out that you are wrong. alas, this is almost always the case with you and others who don't want to hear the truth and have blocked all efforts to bring universal health care to America.

How's your health insurance status these days?

Not sure why you would assume differently.
And you'll forgive - if my preference would be for legislation - that saved lives and improved health care .. ?
( or maybe not .. ? )
