In a crowded field of Democrats vying for the presidency in 2020, one thing stands out. “Medicare-for-all” tops their campaign promises. Sunday the latest to announce, former Obama cabinet official Julian Castro, pledged to make Medicare-for-all a reality. But these candidates…
went to the post office two years ago to mail some packages. It was around 4:15 p.m. The post office was closed.
