Sen. Cory Booker on Sunday said he'd take incremental steps to overhaul the American health care system rather than pushing through 'Medicare for All' if elected president
But Booker said in the CNN interview airing Sunday: "We're not going to pull health insurance from 150 million Americans who have private insurance that like their insurance." He denied he was bending to pressure from the left by supporting Medicare for All.
"It's going to have to be a pathway to getting there that is going to start with the commonsense things that can unite Americans," he said Booker predicted a big hurdle would be gridlock in Congress even if Democrats prevail in November 2020. "I believe, if we're designing our system, Medicare for All is the right way to go," he said. "But I'm also realistic to say — and you know this — when I become president, we may have only maybe a 50-50 tie in the Senate. And my vice president, whoever she is, is going to have to get a lot of exercise going to the Senate and breaking ties. We are going to have to do things that might get me toward my goal of expanding access and lowering costs.
