Did Hakeem Jeffries Discover the Price of 'Free' Healthcare?
Larry Elder 1:00 PM | August 23, 2026
Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries encountered a government program he does not want to expand -- at least not "currently."
Asked recently on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether he supports Medicare for All, Jeffries replied it is "not legislation that I am currently cosponsoring or that I support."
In 2022, while seeking reelection, Jeffries wrote, "I have cosponsored the Medicare for All Act every Congress that I've been a Representative." He entered Congress in 2013. His name appeared on single-payer legislation repeatedly, including the Medicare for All Acts of 2019 and 2021.
