      Biden is not on our side on this issue, that’s part of the problem. He is and was the candidate that the people who didn’t want healthcare reform pushed in to block Bernie from putting the issue on the ballot by running on it.

      I keep hearing this idea floated, do people really think that Biden is not on the same side as the health insurance companies??

      I think accepting a pardon implicitly admits you did the thing, which could have complications for states prosecuting.

      He hasn’t been convicted yet. You cannot pardon someone who doesn’t technically have a record.
