“Transparency matters, especially living through the Trump era,” Buttigieg said at the debate hosted by NBC News in Las Vegas. “Under President Obama, the standard was that the president would release full medical records, do a physical, and release the readout, and I think that’s the standard we should hold ourselves to as well.”

Sanders said on Tuesday he would not be releasing any more medical records during the campaign, claiming he’s already revealed enough information to quell any concerns about his physical health.
“We have released, I think … quite as much as any other candidate has. We released two rather detailed letters from cardiologists, and we released a letter that came from the head of the U.S. Congress medical group, the physicians there. So I think we have released a detailed report, and I’m comfortable with what we have done,” Sanders said.
“If you think I’m not in good health, come on out with me on the campaign trail and I’ll let you introduce me to the three or four rallies a day that we do,” he continued.
Sanders has faced scrutiny about his physical health since he suffered a heart attack on the campaign trail in October.
