“Thank you Senator Sanders for finally talking about the Community Health Care Clinics! This part of the bill is better than the Public Option! Thousands of clinics that EVERYONE can use. Drugs at V.A. prices, Cancer screening, Dental, Eye and Mental Health care. For ALL Americans, insurance or not. Helps way more people than the Public Option ever would. This is why the bill must pass, Public Option or not!
I just found out about this. Why haven’t we heard our progressive talkers emphasize this part of the bill before now?
