Top Dem Wants to Destroy Healthcare

Kamala Harris, often described as the front runner of 2020 Democrats, has called for the abolition of private healthcare. Fox News reports:

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., came under fire on Tuesday for calling for private health care plans to be abolished — the latest plank is what is becoming an increasingly left-wing platform from the California Democrat.

Harris, who announced her 2020 bid for the White House last week, was asked by CNN host Jake Tapper on Monday night if people could keep their current health care plan under her “Medicare-for-All” plan. She indicated that they couldn’t, suggesting she wants to move toward a single-payer system rather than a mere expansion of Medicare.

“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 told Tapper.

“Who among us has not had that situation?” she continued. “Where you got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, ‘Well I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this.’ Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”

Americans cherish their top of the line healthcare, and switching to a system run by bureaucrats would not solve the health care challenges that the country is facing.
