Kamala Harris Says She Misinterpreted Question on Abolishing Private Insurance
Breitbart ^ | 06-28-19 | PAM KEY

Posted on 06/28/2019 11:08:22 AM PDT by Steve1999

Friday on “CBS This Morning,” Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said she misinterpreted a question at Thursday night’s 2020 Democratic debate, about abolishing private health insurance.

Harris raised her hand when NBC’s Lester Holt asked for a hand raise if their health care plans would “abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan?”The California Senator was asked, “Another defining moment in the debate was when ever candidate was asked to raise their hand if they would abolish is private insurance. In that momentum you raised your hand. But afterwards you campaign says actually that’s not your position. So what’s your position on private insurance?”

Even if she has misinterpreted the question and wants you to be able to purchase private insurance as a supplement to Govt. healthcare, the bottom line is that you would be increasing your overall costs. Taxes would greatly increase to provide substandard, rationed healthcare for all and you’d have to buy private insurance to get around that. And you thought the increase for Obamacare was bad!

Was the question presented in a foreign language?

Cursive. She is trying to establish her street cred. (Of course, in California, that means pooping in the street now, doesn't it?)

She’s asking Joe, “how could you work with segregationists back in the 70s,” but one day some woker-than-thou young lesbian superfeminist may be asking her, “how could you use your sexuality to get ahead like that?”

In a twisted form of class warfare...

The biggest issue 'white elites' in the audience had last night (that touched on them) was the 'medicare for all' which they HATE. Liberal 'elites' want 'stand in line and beg' medical care for the masses - but for themselves they want private care insurance or Concierge medicine / with memberships.

Too rash in her response.

She is a danged State Attorney General, a Super-Lawyer, trained and expert in communication and words and meanings and stuff.

raise their hand if they would abolish private insurance

Is that a Yes or a No? I take it as a Yes, or No, or I am too stupid to breathe.

She has come out for abolishing private health insurance before last night's debate:

Kamala Harris Vows to ‘Eliminate’ Private Insurance Market - news.yahoo.com - Jan 29, 2019 - Excerpt:

“I believe the solution — and I actually feel very strongly about this — is that we need to have Medicare for all,” Harris said in response to an audience question about healthcare affordability. “That’s just the bottom line.”

“So for people out there who like their insurance, they don’t get to keep it?” CNN’s Jake Tapper asked.

“Let’s eliminate all of that,” Harris responded, “let’s move on.”

The next day she ALSO retracted that answer but the truth seems to keep leaking out!

I just looked that up, then found your post, I remembered her saying it...

A couple more links based on the same comment -

I guess these people just don’t realize or don’t care that people like us can easily look up their previous statements about this kind of thing. It’s easy to prove she is a liar. She tried walking it back the next day, now she’s trying to do it again.

I listened to Biden for a couple of minutes earlier. Saying millionaires pay a lower tax rate than the middle class...an outright lie. Middle class, up to $125,000 (filing single) tax rate is currently 12%. Over $750,000 is 37%. Maybe Warren Buffett did pay a lower tax rate than his secretary, but that’s because he actually paid himself a lower salary than his secretary.

Plus they also lost several of their favorite write offs and deductions, which is why Nasty Nancy and the dems are dying to repeal Trump’s tax bill. They actually have to pay more. Just the property taxes on her 3 mansions cost Nasty Nancy around $130,000, because now she can only deduct the 1st $10,000 instead of the entire amount. Plus the highest state income tax in the country is in Wackifornia, I don’t know what that cost her...I think their rate is 13.5% and New York is 2nd at 10%. (I may be wrong, but Hannity has put those two numbers out plenty times.)

So far it’s not hard to prove every democrat running for president so far is an outright liar. Harris is not alone in that respect.

What I’m waiting for is someone to match Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” comment...Any guesses who it might be? Biden is my 1st choice, Pocahontas 2nd.

Of course she will permit private insurance! The uber-wealthy would never use “medicare for all”, that’s for the little people. They want good health care!

Trump will win all 50 states and he has barely started his campaign. Hopefully he will have a better congress who will do something good for the country. (I know)

IF her comprehension skills are that bad she has no business even being a sinator.

I wonder if she would admit that she misinterpreted Biden over his remark?

Maybe she's still into the Snoop and Tupac, and that's why she didn't understand the question?

She misspoke on the subject more than once. Back in January:

That could very well happen.
