AOC lowers expectations on Medicare for All, admitting Sanders 'can't wave a magic wand' to pass it by writerknowles
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday that if Sen. Bernie Sanders were elected president, he still might not be able to get Medicare for All, his signature health plan, passed in Congress.
“The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so,” she said. “Look, nobody thinks it’s $20 trillion,” Biden told PBS last year, adding, “I think it is going to be very difficult to even get a Democratic Congress to vote for that.”
During January’s Democratic presidential debate in Iowa, Sen. Amy Klobuchar also threw cold water on the likelihood of Sanders’s plan becoming law. “I think the best approach is to make this Medicare option available to everybody, but not command everybody to adopt it, especially I’m thinking of folks like the culinary workers here in Nevada,” Buttigieg said in an interview with the Nevada Independent. “There are a lot of labor union members who have negotiated very good health plans that are part of their compensation, and I don’t think they want to be forced into a plan they don’t know.
