Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doubled-down on her calls for universal healthcare Thursday; saying the massive federal entitlement program is just “level 1” of the changes needed in the United States.
“We are long passed the time to guarantee health care in the United States. That’s Level 1. When we get to a point where we’re struggling to feel economic security, it’s because all of these things are chipping away at us. It’s health care, it’s student loans, it’s rent, it’s cost of living, it’s immigration status, it’s all of that,” said AOC.
“Wages, income, healthcare, and the third is housing!” she added.

Ocasio-Cortez bizarrely called-out “home-owners” on social media Wednesday; saying Coronavirus relief efforts should not “squeeze” people can’t afford to own land.
“It makes no sense that we are squeezing people that already cannot afford to purchase their own home for more money than a person who already owns land and is a land-owning member or a home-owning member of our economy,” said a video posted by the Congresswoman on Twitter.
