I've butted heads with California Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna a few times, most notably nearly four years ago over his misrepresentation of the role private health insurance would play under a theoretical Bernie Sanders-style "Medicare for All" system.
However, I also believe in giving credit where its due, and a new bill introduced by Rep. Khanna (with 29 cosponsors, most of whom seem to be members of the Progressive Caucus, as you'd expect) seems petty damned reasonable to me:
Disclosure: I publicly endorsed Joe Biden in the Democratic primary yesterday. It had nothing to do with this post, however. Shout-out to Pradheep Shanker for bringing this to my attention.
Updated w/my exchange with Rep. Khanna at the bottom
Update: I added "(nearly all)" to the headline for extra clarity given the subject of this entry.
Ro Khanna is a Democratic Congressman representing CA-17. He's also a top Bernie Sanders surrogate and a huge Medicare for All advocate.
About an hour ago, he was interviewed on NPR for about five minutes regarding the Caronavirus, tomorrow's California Presidential primary...and Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All plan.
