When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Claim by Bernie Sanders: “Tens of millions of Americans live in communities where they cannot find a doctor while others have to wait months to be seen.”
Politifact rating: Mostly True (Research suggests that 70 million to 100 million Americans could be unable to find a doctor if they want or need one, figures well within Sanders’ claim of “tens of millions.”) Sen. Bernie Sanders says millions of people can’t find a doctor. He’s mostly right. |

PolitiFact rating: False (Netherlands’ government clearly states that a patient, not family or friends, must consent to euthanasia, and a doctor is not required to perform the procedure.) Facebook video distorts Netherlands euthanasia law; no one is being killed against their will |
