AOC lowers expectations on Medicare for All, admitting Sanders 'can't wave a magic wand' to pass it [View all]
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.
A president cant wave a magic wand and pass any legislation they want, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told HuffPost this week.
While Ocasio-Cortez rarely tempers expectations when championing ideas like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal to fight climate change she helped author, she went on to suggest that under a President Sanders, a compromise might emerge on health care, even though she still considers Sanderss bill the gold standard.
The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I dont think so, she said.
