“Lord no.' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office bats down idea of debating 2020 hopeful John Delaney on health care.
Though it provided a spark for 2020 hopeful John Delaney’s candidacy, the former Maryland congressman’s request to debate New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on one of the most important issues to American voters, health care, was met with a blunt no from the freshman Democrat’s office.
“Since there’s so many people running for President , instead of obsessing over who‘s a “frontrunner,” maybe we can start w some general eliminations. This awful, untrue line got boo’ed for a full minute. John Delaney, thank you but please sashay away,” Ocasio-Cortez said alongside a video of Delaney receiving loud and drawn out boos during his speech before California Democrats over the weekend. In the speech, Delaney denounced Medicare for All as"not good policy.
“I think that's too bad because I think health care is the most important issue facing the American people and she obviously has an issue with my plan, based on that she tweeted that thing at me, and I would have loved to debate it because I think these things should be a battle of ideas,” Delaney said in a phone interview with ABC News.
In her tweet Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez defended Medicare for All as “sound policy” and said, “plenty of other countries have single payer + better outcomes than the US.”
