Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said that concerns raised by the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement should not be treated as a partisan issue, arguing that widespread anxiety about the US healthcare system cuts across political lines. Her comments, made in media remarks reported by Fox News, position her as finding some common ground with health themes associated with the Trump administration, even as she remains a vocal critic of the president and his allies on most other issues.

Ocasio-Cortez argued that frustration with high costs, poor access and distrust of institutions within America's healthcare system is fuelling significant public anxiety, and suggested this frustration is shared by voters regardless of party affiliation. The remarks come as the MAHA movement, championed by figures including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, continues to push for changes such as dietary reform and stricter food standards, an agenda that has drawn some unusual crossover support from progressive voices.
