Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is calling for Medicare for all, at the expense of taxing billionaires and withholding funds for Iran.
Khanna spoke at a National Press Club luncheon and called for national health insurance with “Medicare for all.”
He said it’s important because having healthcare linked to a job is risky, as workers face the potential of losing their job or changing jobs.
“We need Medicare for all. That’s a better system, with better outcomes where healthcare is guaranteed to every single person from the day they are born.”
Khan went on to say, “For our young people, whose assured career opportunity is not limited by your family’s wealth, we need free college and free trade schools.”
The Republican National Committee Research page on X posted a video of Khanna on Tuesday, and said, “Khanna calls for socialized healthcare and ‘free’ college.”

Khanna replied to the X post with, “Yes I am for Medicare for all & free college and trade schools. Tax billionaires. No funding for war in Iran.”
Earlier this month, Rev. Al Sharpton pressed Khanna about a 2028 White House bid, which Khanna did not rule out.
