I agree! I want extensive medical records of all three. The voters need to know all the information that’s available. Candidates shouldn’t be hiding anything, financial or medical. The voters then look at all the information available and decide if something is concerning or not. Start out as honest as possible!

Bernie did state that he would release his medical records before the first votes were cast. He has failed to do so and is going back on his word. This only makes people think he has something to hide.

He said he would release records and he did. Just because you don't agree with the extent of the records that were released does not mean he went back on his word.

Lol.

The desperation and double standards are becoming a bit much y'all  

You want him to release his full life's medical records? He already released the most of any candidate and it includes regarding his heart attack and stent procedure.

There's no need to release his medical records going back decades because this is clearly just another way to try to attack him politically, they aren't interested if he hurt his hip when he was 50  Otherwise they would require every candidate to release comprehensive medical records going back decades.

He's released more than Joe and Bloomberg who are all +/- 1 the same age  

I'd literally rather people just say "I hate bernie" in every thread than try to justify it so poorly, like

It's also not unprecedented for presidents to have health concerns/issues while serving as president. FDR obviously is one that comes to mind. Eisenhower had multiple strokes while in office. Teddy Roosevelt was shot during a campaign event. JFK had Addison's desease. Reagan had Alzheimers, also had prostate cancer that was operated on while in office. Woodrow Wilson hid his health issues while in office. So, I don't really interpret the notion that somebody's health is a very important factor in electing the president considering most of the people I just mentioned are some of the most well-regarded or most well known presidents in our history. 

Yes, I knew all of that. That is true, in times past.

In modern times, we have wanted more information from those running for the Presidency.  As information has become more readily shared, the public has changed its expectations. Voters simply expect more information than they did in the past. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

And I am simply pointing out that the potential for health issues impacted quite a few of our presidents and the notion that health is a disqualification is puzzling to say the least. It is ageist and it only represents the opinion of a very small faction of the party.

...and? Did anyone else? lol He did a follow-up with the public following his heart attack. That should be enough. Trump straight up got a quack doctor to say he's healthy lol

 

Why do people want his medical records? ffs he's a public official not a library book. Y'all can't just be checking him out fuh free. Let's please not put this bs on the same level as Trump not showing his tax returns. That is basic customary practice that he didn't do which is fine, but then dug himself deep by looking like such a criminal. Also because that actually had legitimate bearing to his ability to lead since people were curious about his loans and how he often brags about committing fraud.

 

this is dumb.

The way the MSM can create a completely baseless controversy out of thin air. His letters were more detailed than other candidates. He’s surprisingly healthy for his age. He has the stamina to take on the presidency and that’s on doctor’s words. 
 

The benefits of living a healthy life >>> Sanders is just too aware and powerful.

It’s a valid concern. Voters want to know about the medical condition of their candidates and then their President.
