Diana DeGette: “The reauthorization of MDUFA should be bipartisan, so I urge all members of the committee to work together on this…”

If you’re going to be doing quality health care legislation, you should be able to do it in a bipartisan way.

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 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.
