Why does Bernie keep taking credit for an idea that was introduced by representative John Conyers in 2003?

@BitFlipper oh, puleeze, you can see Bernie talking about universal healthcare on YouTube 20 years ago...your willful ignotance/blindness is Appalling!

@BitFlipper It was introduced, successfully, by the British Labour party, in 1950. I think you mean "suggested copying the British idea".

@Petter that might be, certainly not by Conyers in 2003! I apologize for my insular-ness!

@AnneWimsey No offence taken. It's my pedantic nature holding forth!

@AnneWimsey Do you have a link for that?

@BitFlipper I told you, go to Youtube... search "Bernie Sanders Medicare plans"....only about 2 dozen speeches,bills presented, etc etc etc. Conyers my ass!

@AnneWimsey [en.m.wikipedia.org]

This is one of the problems with worshipping a politician.

@BitFlipper that was One Bill offered Years after Bernie...you are just not going to bother with any Facts, are you, or going to YouTube, even when Several people on here are pointing out that you are being willfully obtuse. You do know remaining ignorant only hurts You, and is Quite trump-like, right?

@AnneWimsey YouTube is where I learned about UFO tunnels under Arizona, and pedophile camps on Mars. YouTube is loaded with unsourced bullshit.

You should have the link to that YouTube video at your fingertips. Just post it here.

@AnneWimsey what you call "willfully obtuse", I call "rigorous and fact-based".
