Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, is famous for his advocacy of a single-payer health care, such as prevails in Canada.

I was thinking about what to do with VA hospitals and thought that selling them but keeping them as combat or trauma related hospitals would be good. Especially in cities with high gun related injuries.

Bernie is as intelligent as Barney without his human inside.

Oh,wow! That’s really cool. Love neuroscience. I’m going to do some reading up on that. Thing about TBI and CTE is the guys probably don’t even know. What is your favorite source or do you get info firsthand? Will you be changing your name to LabRat? You know I’m kidding, right?

It’s amazing how much has been discovered in the last 5 years. Thanks for the heads up about March. In like a lion out like a lamb. Possibilities are endless.

Need to private message you...
