Liberal Washington Post columnist cautions Dems: Embracing 'Medicare for All' may aid Trump

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.”

And, of course, the Rs won’t offer something affordable and make a case for it.

We could make rational offerings... but for the greedy nothing beats 'we want it all and we want it free'...

We need to start a "JUST SAY NO to SOCIALISM" Campaign!! Especially on the university campus!! This is WAR!

The kids like "Socialism" because they LOVE SOCIAL MEDIA and they think it's cool!

Just take a Straight A student that studies and works very hard for their grades and tell them that another student has only C's and D's needs a few of their A's bringing BOTH of them to C's to be equal!

Help….we need to FIGHT this....NOW!
