John Delaney slammed the progressive proposals of his left-leaning fellow presidential candidates, blasting policies like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All
Former congressman and 2020 presidential hopeful John Delaney on Tuesday slammed the progressive proposals of his left-leaning fellow candidates, blasting policies like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All as “fundamentally flawed.”
Delaney is not the only Democrat running for president who’s been skeptical of moving to a single-payer health system like Medicare for All, nor has he been shy about his opposition to his fellow Democrats' embrace of a larger role for the federal government.
Delaney argued that the proposal sets an “unrealistic goal” that could drastically hike the cost of energy and that there are less disruptive ways to address the threat of climate change. “So I’m going to take them on hard on their policies, which I think are fundamentally flawed and are not going to move this country forward in the right direction and are going to hurt a lot of people,” he contended. He added that if Democrats try to take on Trump with "bad policy, we're not gonna win."
