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.
I feel like my message is getting out to the voters: fighting against Donald Trump, fighting for Medicare For All, and against ICE, and that’s what they care about.
If you’re going to be doing quality health care legislation, you should be able to do it in a bipartisan way.
