Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said on Wednesday nobody is “heartbroken” by the prospect of losing their private health insurance if Medicare for All were to be implemented.
Her comments were first reported by Bloomberg’s Sahil Kapur.
.@AOC, asked about warnings from Joe Biden on Medicare for All, says nobody is “heartbroken” at the idea of losing private insurance.
“People like their health care, they like their doctor,” she says. “But I’d be interested in what the public polling on Aetna would look like.”
