Debt persists as AOC pursues costly egg-freezing plan

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez disclosed ongoing federal student loan debt between $15,001 and $50,000 since her 2018 election, while revealing plans to freeze her eggs at a cost of about $10,000–$20,000 per cycle; she has long pushed for broad student-debt cancellation and notes that taxpayer funding has not been requested for egg-freezing procedures, with discussion of debt relief also highlighted among her fellow lawmakers.
