“The first thing I would do is bring back that public option idea that’s been floating around in the first place, and that gives you a choice,” Klobuchar said. “You can do it with Medicaid, you can do it with Medicare. So that you have a less-expensive option to pick from.
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar kickstarted a series of CNN Town Halls Monday night, responding to a smattering of questions across the board from New England college students. She took verbal jabs at President Donald Trump, said Secretary of Education Betsy DeVoss “shouldn’t be in her job" and discussed whether frozen pizza should be allowed in schools.
When a student asked her which country the United States should resemble when it comes to health care, she said she wouldn’t narrow it to any one particular country, because she felt the U.S. could become the leader. Klobuchar said she would keep the Affordable Care Act — better known as Obamacare — and bring down premiums. She said she would continue to work to “bring down the cost of prescription drugs” and “bring in less-expensive drugs from Canada.”
When specifically asked why she doesn’t sponsor Medicare for all, she told the audience “I have been out front taking on the pharmaceutical companies to bring down costs. I want to get to universal health care, and I want to get there fast.”
