Just ask John Conyers who's also been fighting for universal health care.
Would women's, lgbt, civil and voting rights have passed if advocates had said "it's too hard, I give up"? But when Bernie does it it's characterized as insanity? Gotta love that double standard.  |

30. Yep. He was pushing it in 1991 and other congressmen did so long before that.

And yeah, didn't some people call his plan a 'pony'? You know how those silly progressives and their radical ideas for socialized health care are, always wanting free stuff.
Now a majority of our congressmen/women support Conyers' Medicare for All bill and no one is laughing at them anymore. That's progress. |

And here's Bernie in 1991 advocating a national health care system - just one month after being elected to Congress :
He's been working to save the ACA behind the scene and also by generating support for it publicly. You go, Bernie! We need more tireless senators like him. |
