Diana DeGette: “Earlier this year the House passed H.R. 3716, the Ensuring Access to Quality Medicaid Providers Act which our own…”

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.

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.

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.
