In my on-boarding to Congress, I get to pick my insurance plan.As a waitress, I had to pay more than TWICE what I’d pay as a member of Congress.It’s frustrating that Congressmembers would deny other people affordability that they themselves enjoy. Time for #MedicareForAll. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 1, 2018

At 22, I was working w/ children + communities.At 25, I was waitressing to support my family.At 28, I won my primary for Congress. I didn’t have health insurance.Today I turn 29.You’re never too late, too early, or too imperfect to care for yourself or pursue your dreams. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 13, 2018

Some folks are saying I won for “demographic” reasons.1st of all, that’s false. We won w/voters of all kinds.2nd, here’s my 1st pair of campaign shoes. I knocked doors until rainwater came through my soles.Respect the hustle. We won bc we out-worked the competition. Period. pic.twitter.com/RbpQMYTiWY — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 29, 2018
