Democrat BACKS Kamala Harris’ call to END private insurance – then she pulls the rug from under him!!

On the Chris Matthews Show, Sen. Sherrod Brown actually backed Kamala Harris’ proposal from last night where she called for an end the private health insurance industry.

He told Matthews “I stand with her on that.”

Watch:

 
Well just a few minutes ago, CNN reported that Harris is now backtracking from her staunch position of getting rid of the private health insurance industry:

CNN – By stating she would eliminate private insurers as a necessary part of implementing “Medicare-for-all,” California Sen. Kamala Harris during a CNN town hall Monday night sent a shockwave through the national health care debate.

Harris’ comments underscored the extent to which a move to single payer would radically overhaul the current system and, in frankly addressing one of the transition’s most politically difficult steps, stepped directly into her critics’ crosshairs.

Republicans attacked Harris within minutes of her remarks, tweeting that she “says she wants to eliminate private insurance even if you like your plan.” By Tuesday morning, former Starbucks boss Howard Schultz was piling on and fellow billionaire potential presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York, was dismissing the entire plan as a fiscally ruinous pipe dream.

As the furor grew, a Harris adviser on Tuesday signaled that the candidate would also be open to the more moderate health reform plans, which would preserve the industry, being floated by other congressional Democrats. It represents a compromise position that risks angering “Medicare-for-all” proponents, who view eliminating private health insurance as key to enacting their comprehensive reform.

Both the adviser and Harris national press secretary Ian Sams said her willingness to consider alternate routes to a single payer system should not cast doubt on her commitment to the policy.

“Medicare-for-all is the plan that she believes will solve the problem and get all Americans covered. Period,” Sams told CNN. “She has co-sponsored other pieces of legislation that she sees as a path to getting us there, but this is the plan she is running on.”

Wow that was fast. It’s not even been 24 hours yet!

This just shows how untenable and ridiculous her policies are and how she clearly hasn’t thought through them. I’m certainly not a fan of either Schultz or Bloomberg, but they are right about the fact that she’s a crazy leftist.

Hilarious!
