DENIED HEALTHCARE IS VIOLENCE
and DON'T BACK DOWN!!

Ocasio-Cortez Has A Blunt Message For Those 'Confused Or Shocked' By CEO Shooting

“This is not to say that an act of violence is justified but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them,” the New York congresswoman told CBS News’ Jaala Brown.

Ocasio-Cortez, who noted that Americans’ collective “pain” is being “concentrated” on the shooting, said people go homeless as a result of “the financial devastation of a diagnosis that doesn’t get addressed or the amount they’re going to have to cover with a surprise bill.”

“And when we kind of talk about how systems are violent in this country in this passive way, our privatized health care system is like that for a huge amount of Americans,” explained Ocasio-Cortez, who noted that she didn’t have health insurance until she was elected to Congress.

She later continued, “Health care in this country has gotten to such a depraved state that people are living with things they should never have to live with. And this is not to say and this is not to participate in that glorification but we need to understand that extreme levels of inequality in the United States yield high degrees of social instability.”
