Congressman Ro Khanna on His New State Based Universal Health Care Act

Published: Nov. 12, 2019, 8:05 p.m.

Leslie is rejoined by Congressman Ro Khanna.  He represents California's 17th congressional district, including Silicon Valley. His focus is to create proposals for jobs in areas left behind and tax credits for the working class. He believes in exercising restraint in foreign policy, and takes no PAC money!

The two discuss 'the State-Based Universal Health Care Act,' which Rep. Khanna introduced this past Friday.  The legislation is a landmark step toward empowering states to expand health coverage to every resident. Recognizing the unique position of American states to lead the push for universal health care, Rep. Khanna’s bill provides states with historic access to federal funding streams and regulatory flexibility necessary to implement and support affordable, universal health care plans.
