Show Notes

Deb Haaland, running for New Mexico governor, unveils a healthcare plan advocating for a public option or single-payer system to reduce costs. She criticizes the current system and aims to make coverage more affordable and accessible. House Speaker Javier Martínez supports her proposal, suggesting the states permanent funds from oil and gas royalties could fund it. Martínez argues that the for-profit healthcare model is a mistake, and New Mexico could lead the nation in healthcare reform. Haalands Democratic rival, Sam Bregman, accuses her of copying his plan, which he rolled out six months ago. Bregman calls for more debates to compare their proposals. Haalands plan is inspired by her personal struggles with healthcare and aims to make it a right, not a privilege.
