The initial version of HIPAA passed the House 267–151, with Republicans voting in favor 229–1 and Democrats opposing 38–149, with Bernie also opposing. The Senate revised HIPAA, where it passed 100–0. The revised version went back to the House, where it passed 421–2, with Bernie supporting the bill. I saw that the Tampa Bay Times and PoltiFact ran a story which showed their different votes, but saying that Bernie opposed HIPAA is misleading.https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/104-1996/h393

I think PolitiFact and the Tampa Bay Times do great work, and I'm supporting the Democratic nominee no matter what.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
