Sen. Bernie Sanders, one of the remaining holdouts on supporting the Senate health care bill, is working on a provision with Sen. Ron Wyden to expand the role of health clinics.
“I want to salute you, Sen. Wyden, as well as Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont for one particular provision in here,” Sen. Dick Durbin said on the Senate floor moments ago. “We don’t have the details yet, but we believe that this will result in the most dramatic expansion of health care clinics across America.”
Sen. Wyden followed him on the floor to speak about the proposal, and said the clinics “will be like farmers’ markets.”
Sanders, an avowed socialist who wants a single-payer health care system, has said he would not vote for the current bill when it comes to a final vote, but remains undecided on whether or not to vote on the key cloture motion. Expanding health clinics could be one way to win him over.

I've known Sanders for about 40 years...and he will cave...."for the people".
He loves the limelight; the headlines that include the word "Sanders", and he knows he'll make the headlines IF he votes for cloture. He may be holding his nose when he does so, but Sanders will vote "D" because he's about as far left as one can go and not fall off. He's an avowed Socialist and this is Socialism; not too far removed from Communism.

You are obviously just an simpleton echo of the right-wing sound machine. You statement shows you lack of any knowledge or even the faintest hint of what Socialism is or how it works. Please, please for God's sake educate yourself so you don't sound like such a fool.

Clinics that will"be like farmers' markets". WOW! What a selling point. What next, operating rooms like abattoirs? These guys are just plain goofey.
