Amish Shah Doubles Down on Socialist Government Healthcare Takeover

May 27, 2026

Democrat Amish Shah doubled down on a socialist government takeover of healthcare, according to footage from a local Democrat meeting.

Shah said: “I believe in universal health care,” describing the “public option” as his preferred “strategy … to get there,” and he acknowledged Republicans would call this “socialism.”

Reminder: Shah has a disturbing history of embracing socialism:

  • Amish Shah backed Bernie Sanders for president at Phoenix Democrat Socialists event.
  • Shah praised the Socialist Squad’s “progressive movement” and condemned capitalism, Ronald Reagan and tax cuts.

“From backing Bernie Sanders to pushing a socialist government takeover of healthcare, Democrat Amish Shah has shown Arizona exactly who he is. Arizonans cannot afford another liberal Squad Member in Congress driving up their taxes and cost of living.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
