In 2019 CNN asked Kamala Harris about her “Medicare for All” legislation to take away private health insurance and push everyone into a government system.
Harris had acknowledged in a previous CNN interview that everyone would be taken off of their private health insurance plan.
So the CNN hosts pressed her on the question, asking: “But if you are getting insurance from GM, from your employer, you will not be able to do that, correct?”
Harris replied, “You will have 10 years to transition.”
(Gee, thanks.)
Here is the key exchange during the first CNN interview:
CNN host Anderson Cooper: “But in your plan, eventually, everyone would be taken off the private plan their company currently has?”
Kamala Harris: “Yes.”
Even Joe Biden during a CNN debate on July 31, 2019 called her out for her plan to take away private health insurance.
Looking directly at Harris next to him on stage, Biden described her plan:
“You will lose your employer-based insurance. And in fact, you know, this is the single most important issue facing the public.”
Biden also said:
“It will eliminate employer-based insurance.”
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) also called out Harris.
Bennet said:
“If we can’t admit tonight what’s in the plan — which is banning employer-based insurance — we are not going to be able to admit that when Donald Trump is accusing Democrats of doing that as well.
We need to be honest about what’s in this plan. It bans employer-based insurance and taxes the middle class to the tune of thirty trillion dollars.”
