Ever since one leading 2020 presidential candidate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., called for eliminating private health insurance to implement "Medicare for All," there has been pushback by some moderate Democrats, including a Washington Post columnist who cautioned the party against embracing such a platform, especially while campaigning against President Trump.
Harris is one of the biggest champions for "Medicare for All," especially on Capitol Hill, where she co-sponsored a bill with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. However, after reiterating her support for the program at a CNN town hall earlier this week, Harris was asked about those who currently have health insurance plans through private companies.
“So for people out there who like their insurance, they don’t get to keep it?” CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked.
“Well, listen. The idea is that everyone gets access to medical care and you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require,” Harris replied. “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”

Yeah let’s do away with ALL that pesky paperwork and INSTEAD let the government decide what care we will get oh HELL NO!!!
They’re so dumb that they can’t even learn “Political Inauthenticity 101” and need to be coached by the masters.
IDK.
“Fre stuff!” is “free stuff!”.
And, of course, the Rs won’t offer something affordable and make a case for it.
Of course the columnist would be pleased as punch with socialized medicine, as would every Democrat who has run for high office in the last twenty years. However, she knows that it’s a loser in elections outside of deep blue districts so it can’t be said out loud otherwise the rubes might get spooked.
The Democrats fueled by two years of Trump hatred and delirious with taking the House have had their momentum carry them so far left that they now realize they can’t reverse and the American people will not ultimately support them. It will be hard to convince the muddled middle that they are rational and not a real threat to the well being of the nation.
This woman could make a train take a dirt road.
Can’t do anything to help Trump so they have to look like total fools
When the Dims go far left:
1984:
Reagan 49
Mondale 1 plus D.C.
1972:
Nixon 49
McGovern 1 plus D.C.
When the government takes over your healthcare, don’t get sick during a government shutdown. Tapper should have asked that sleazy woman if all government officials will also lose their Cadillac healthcare plan.
Commie Dems want to control your health care so THEY can decide whether you live or die..based on who you voted for..that is what this is all about, cleansing America of those they disagree with
"May aid Trump" is MSM Newspeak for "Bad liberal Democrat idea."

Also 1994 and 2010.
Translation: Lie about your support for socialism.
Yes because if government is known for one thing, its how it reduces delay and paperwork.
/huge frigging sarc
They dont care if trump is 49-1.
Their godam libtard courts stop him from doing lawful actions.
Why are we even having these discussions?
Wasn’t Obamacare supposed to solve all our healthcare issues, provide health insurance to all, subsidize it for lower income , etc???
I think Harris and others should be called out for dissing their icon Obama and his allegedly brilliant plan to provide healthcare to all.
and embracing the Green Deal will kill America!
even gloBULL warming zealots at Bloomberg know it:
31 Jan: Bloomberg: When Does the Windy City Lose Wind Power? During a Polar Vortex
By Chris Martin; With assistance by Brian K Sullivan, and Naureen S Malik
Turbines often idled during deep freezes to prevent damage
Reduction in wind output boosts fuel burns as prices climb
The wind farms erected across the central U.S. over the past decade were supposed to provide cheap power during the blustery winter months. But they were never designed for cold like this...
“It’s just too cold for a lot of wind farms,” Adam Jordan, director of power analytics at Genscape Inc., said in an interview. “They can get damaged in weather like this.”...
With a deep freeze like this one, wind-farm operators may have to hit the brakes as ice builds up on blades and to prevent lubricated bearings from seizing up and stiffened fiberglass blades from cracking...
The situation highlights a weakness of renewable power, the fastest-growing part of the U.S. generation mix...
Wind generation on Wednesday afternoon was less than half its annual average in the Southwest Power Pool, the grid operator from North Dakota to Oklahoma.
