The New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez answered a question about potentially running for higher office in 2028 by declaring: “My ambition is to change the country.”
The Democrat delivered that remark at a political forum in Chicago on Friday amid widespread belief that she is positioning herself to run for the White House in 2028 or challenge her party’s leader in the US Senate, fellow New Yorker Chuck Schumer.
“What’s funny is they assume my ambition is a title or a seat,” the Bronx US House representative replied. “My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go. Senate, House seats, elected officials come and go.
“But single-payer healthcare is forever,” she added, in reference to the kind of national healthcare platform she has long supported over the private system entrenched in the US.
Can you imagine if privatized healthcare fell how many of those people would actually have to get actual jobs that contribute to society instead of just denying people the care they pay for?
Fuckers will finally get to navigate the AI landscape in the job market like the rest of us.
I guarantee they’re already navigating an AI hellscape. The problem are not insurance workers or working class wage workers, it is the system that is designed in such a way that instead of these folks facilitating actual care, which would be good and right (let’s catch fraud and such, and also make sure we have efficient claims services even with single payer so that treatment is even more cost effective). Better we have solidarity and convince the workers of these companies that they could still have jobs in public sector with equal pay and better benefits with a single payer system.
There are vanishingly few people getting mega wealthy off of insurance in the US. It’s not the wage workers. It’s the wealthy class siphoning our money and stealing while we die from preventable diseases.
