Senator Bernie Sanders thanked his supporters and medical staffers this week after being hospitalized in Nevada over “chest pains,” using the opportunity to call for a universal healthcare system to be instituted across the United States.
“Thanks for all the well wishes. I’m feeling good. I’m fortunate to have good health care and great doctors and nurses helping me to recover. None of us know when a medical emergency might affect us. And no one should fear going bankrupt if it occurs. Medicare for All!” posted Sanders on Twitter.
