Diana DeGette: “I don't understand how the Trump administration's proposed budget cuts to this office would help DOE accomplish this…”

I want to congratulate Melat Kiros for her victory last night, and I want to wish her all the best in her future.

All of these radicals who are coming to the House, thinking they’re going to be able to pass a very broad bill like Medicare-for-All right away, they’re going to run into a brick wall immediately.

If I could pass Medicare-for-All unilaterally in the minority, I would do it, because I’m an original co-sponsor of that bill. But the frustration people are feeling is with the whole system.

The government should never have the right to use health insurance coverage as a targeted weapon, should never deliberately strip certain people of the freedom to make their own medical decisions.
