Bernie Sanders Hates Child Cancer Research

[GridIron26]

There was absolutely no reason for Bernie to block this bill. It's very unfortunate that civilians are paying the price dearly for the politicians' revenges for each other.

Bernie said that he blocked this bill because he wants to add an amendment to get more funds for community health centers. He went even further by pointing to Republicans dropping their support for the bipartisan year-end funding bill in 2024 consisting multiple health care-related policies that includes the support for the child cancer research right after Elon Musk encouraged Republicans to withdraw their support.

But then, we also have to look at a bigger picture. It is well known for centuries that leaders are fundamentally responsible for setting examples as they directly influence team behavior, culture and performance. Unfortunately, the person in the leadership position is well known for tit for tat approach (the most recent incident is Trump vetoing Colorado water project and Florida tribal measure for revenge purpose), even has a long history for creating conditional agreement by tying something irrelevant to the subject discussed (i.e., tying SNAP benefits to the government shutdown).

Just like we have experienced first hand with Snyder and Commanders, whenever we want to change the culture, it starts with people in the top.
