Kamala Harris is sticking by her full-throated support of ‘Medicare-for-all’ – despite a barrage of criticism from Republicans and even a potential Democratic primary rival for comments suggesting it would mean the end of private health insurance.
"Medicare-for-all is the plan that she believes will solve the problem and get all Americans covered. Period,” Harris campaign national press secretary Ian Sams told Fox News.
“She has co-sponsored other pieces of legislation that she sees as a path to getting us there, but this is the plan she is running on,” he added, suggesting potential support for other options as well.
The freshman California senator and former state attorney general – who launched her presidential bid last week – was asked Monday at a CNN town hall in Iowa if people could keep their current health insurance under her “Medicare for All” plan.
She seemed to suggest they couldn’t.

Someone ask her if Medicare for all includes her too! I’m tired of politicians saying what’s good for us but not good enough for them.
ReplyDeleteSo, countries with universal healthcare that have much lower populations cannot keep up with the demand for care - how in the world will the USA do it with ten times the number of people? And, yeah, all those congress people and other government employees need to be put in the same category as the rest of us! Sick to death of politicians and insurance companies!
