Meanwhile, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the co-chairperson of the Progressive Caucus, said their legislative proposals such as the Medicare for All are not extreme. She noted that industrialized countries are implementing similar policies.
“I think he’s, you know, he’s worried about the good ideas like Medicare for all and taxes on the wealthiest and a green new deal and he wants to paint it as socialism… These are actually policies that every industrialized country in the world almost has instituted and built their societies on,” said Jayapal.
