Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Complains About Too Many Healthcare Choices

by John Nolte

Democrat-Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is publicly crybabying over how many healthcare choices are available to her as a member of the U.S. House.

This all started when South Bend, IN, mayor and Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg told a voter, “I trust you to figure out your own healthcare.”

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, a far-leftist economist who has been proven spectacularly wrong about everything, argued against Buttigieg’s point in a Twitter thread that told the harrowing story of all the healthcare choices he faced as a young man:

OK, true story: when I moved from Princeton, I could get health insurance either from the NYT or from CUNY (yes, I’ve been very privileged). NYT offered one option; CUNY 19 different plans.

I’m fairly numerate, and even write about health care. But I couldn’t figure out the difference between the CUNY [City University of New York] plans. So I asked HR if they could summarize the differences. They said no.

In the end I went with NYT (which is now essentially Medicare Advantage, since I’m 66, but looks the same to me as before). And the reason I went that way was that The Times offered me a gratifying lack of choice.

Oh, the horrors of not being rewarded with a “gratifying lack of choice.”

Life would be so much easier if we all had just one choice, if the burden of choice was lifted from our helpless shoulders by the same benevolent federal government that killed all those veterans with their one choice of a Veterans Administration.

Anyway, Ocasio-Crazy had her own horror story for a Twitter thread —  this one about the 66 harrowing options she enjoys as a congresswoman:

Members of Congress also have to buy their plans off the exchange. They are Gold plans that are partially subsidized. That means I get to “choose” btwn 66 complex financial products. This is absurd. No person should go without healthcare, &no one should go through this, either.
