California Senator Kamala Harris fully embraced 'Medicare-for-all' single payer health insurance at a CNN town hall Monday -- and said she's willing to end private insurance to make it happen

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Notice the title 'Medicare For All' not 'Free Healthcare For All' people will pay as a tax instead of an employer sponsored payroll deduction.

She doomed her campaign by saying she's willing to end private insurance. Medicare-for-all is a stretch, but this is much worse of a statement.

Sure, go ahead. UK citizens pay National Insurance tax if employed. Everything is taxed in stores at 20%. People wait to be seen and treated, unless urgent. Senior citizens, good luck, they don't waste money on you. People with money get private insurance to get treated.

Hitler's equal rights, equal pay, free education, guaranteed income & 70% tax -

KamalaHarris - You just lost any chance at my vote. Medicare sucks. Ask my parents who are $40k in debt & lack basics like hearing aids & life-saving meds thanks to Medicare's whacked out rules & costly fees. The gov't can't even manage social security, sure don't want u here!

This is an old story, when has government involvement lowered the cost of anything

And that’s why you cannot win🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🙄

Idiot

A.......positive stance

CastingCouchKamala

KamalaHarris is not Constitutionally eligible to be President.

All TALK. IMAGINE HOW MUCH $$$$$$$ SHE WOULD LOSE FROM LOBBYISTS ?

For CNN & Democrates, we know what ' FREE ' means : Taxes !

realDonaldTrump,KamalaHarris Kamala,get your hands off Health Care.And u want to abolish private insurance?Most of us prefers the liberty to choose our own HC Ins w/o you meddling w/it & Medicare for all?Do u even realize the negative impact of that to our economy, are u crazy?

Who are the idiots “liking” this? 🤦‍♀️

Guess who will still get great health insurance as part of their congressional retirement?

It's not 'Medicare'. We already have Medicare for all. It starts at 65. That is the program where workers pre-paid premiums for their health insurance later. Kamala endorses 'Medicaid' for all. An even crappier health insurance program that no one likes.

it will end up in court

No thank you. You’re welcome to help people who need insurance, but the govt doesn’t have the right to take away our ability to decide who provides our health care. This isn’t the Soviet Union, right?

Super duper idea, are u kidding me? Ask those people who are treated at VA how well the government runs healthcare. What other things does gov’t do well and under budget? No much!

If this nightmare happens we need to make sure congress has the same plan and has to wait in line like everyone else

Kamala is willing to BANKRUPT A:LL Health insurance companies , Put Them out of business and DESTROY ALL JOBS in that Industry and put many many People OUT of Work !

And how will we pay for it. She has NO answers.

So how are we going to be insured? Is she going to be on the same plan? Or is she going to sleep with someone to get around if it? tramp

Wall St can pay for it

Please explain how you intend to pay for it?

Medicare for ALL & leave private insurances as an option let’s see who sticks with private insurance yes there would be many with job losses but what about new jobs with Medicare? The more people on Medicare the more job openings Stop the scare tactics

We don't care to read about Kamala every few minutes. How about letting us know a little about the other candidates too. Oh that would be too fair and balanced.

Ask some other countries how it is working, where you can wait months just to see a doctor or weeks for a cancer patient to get a mri

Sen. Kamala Harris-the extreme left-does not say what the total cost will be-that the country can not afford.

She will ruin America....this is your Democratic Party America WalkAwayFromDemocrats

I’d rather buy my own food and not live off that government cheese

Vote for her?

She is anti-American. (Every single dem is.) Loser Socialism DOES NOT work, ever. Never will. Fact

I’m from the Govt... MariaBartiromo

Insanity, and the Democratic Party is allowing her to deceive her flock of sheep!

And they never say how they will REALLY pay for it.

Yes the democrats are a basket of bad ideas.

Lunatics love to spend other people's money.

More choice, not less.

How naive not to recognize the innocous agenda here. Herd of vacuous sheeple CEOs salvitating at the idea of not having to pay premiums for employees Their profits will skyrocket Why stop at medical insurance? How about Federally administered car, life, & disability insurance

We are charging people to save their lives.

I think someone banged her head against the headboard one too many times.

And just like that, she was no longer a contender.

Reaction after saying millions will be out of work and people will lose the insurance they like. Next!!

Govt controlled anything is a recipe for disaster.

The Medical insurance industry has been taking advantage of this country long enough, it's high time the middle man be eliminated from the system. We'd save billions.

This is not well thought out. Who is going to pay for this. American taxpayers who are already taxed to max. What about prescription coverages? Big PHARMA has hurt Americans Need to fix high deductibles, preexisting clauses, prescription plans

She is a dead end road.

This is what happened when you let government control healthcare. Don’t be fooled when they tell you it’s free. KamalaHarris can you guarantee this will never happen?

Let’s do it.

Every Has A Right to PURCHASE THEIR OWN!

Needs to be “AFFORDABLE”. America over the last 20 years has an affordability problem

Ending private health insurance is not simply “lets move on”. That signals a serious departure from a widely accepted “medicare for all” social program to a socialist program (anti-free enterprise/dangerous). Kamala has some serious explaining to do or she will loose many voters.

KamalaHarris I think Venezuela is looking for a new leader and it is a perfect example of how well Socialism works

How do you guys pick what pictures you’re going to use for stories? Do you pick the first one on file?

She and the Democrats want to turn this country into a socialist country. Free healthcare, free college, anti-capitalism = government-run, taxpayer burdened, dependant and controlled citizens. Open borders+voter fraud is how they are trying to gain the power to do just that.

Can someone give me a list of what rights we will still have if a democrat is elected in 2020?

That would only work with a complete tax overhaul. Also people should have a choice of a statutory or private health insurance

Going backwards! The local blacksmith will be your doctor! Shoe cobbler will be your pharmacist! Thanks Kammy!

I’m not a rocket scientist, but wouldn’t that be a job killer for THOUSANDS of people in the insurance business?!?!?!?!?

Sounds like she will “fully embrace” anything to get to the top!! 😂😂

Because you never have to fill out paperwork for anything run by the government...

A smart voter would run from any candidate that made a claim as catastrophic as that. You see it's not enough to promise something wonderful. You need to convince voters it will work. In our lifetimes. Even with the best plan, that'll not happen. Certainly not in 12 years!

Who cares? She has no business being a Senator and will never be President. Why waste time on her?

At the very least they could compromise (maybe) and lower the Medicare age from 65 to 55. So people can better prepare for retirement.

A quote like that will assure DJT another win

The 1% in this country will never permit medicare-for-all, they want the poor, disabled and elderly dead They'll have her assassinated if they thought she even has a chance

Over how many years? That statement is going to require some modification down the road

Health insurance will be required for all especially recovering from all the destruction climate change will cost us and bear upon our survival! CO2 REDUCTION must be a National priority!

We should have both. One to cover everyone. Private insurance for those who want it, out of their pocket though.

Hell no.. look how the VA turned out with gvmnt control. Student loans for college were never so inflated until gvmnt again got involved. Now this loon thinks the gvmnt should run health care! Another piece to control the citizens

Private for profit health insurance should have never been allowed to last this long

Great reason to vote for Kamala along with all the other reasons

Once again the democrat finds a way to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. Take your model from another country - the UK has a functional basic healthcare system AND allows private insurance for those who want it.

I pay $14,460 a month for my family coverage leave me out of your leftist utopia dreams.

Employer-based healthcare is not working!

That is not a bad thing, but the far right will extrapolate whatever they wish from this. KamalaHarris is for the people, not for big business.

Sugar

I thought they already tried that with obummer care? How’d that work out?

VSStangl Boom....

Bish lost her mind. She went full leftist.

You don't need to end Private insurance, make it based on income level, up to a certain annual salary, Medicaid is available, but not required (private can be gotten), paid by fix sum in taxes or free to poor. After say 100k per year, private insurance is mandatory. Easy peesy.

All the ways 2020 Democrats sound a lot more like Bernie than Hillary via vicenews

KamalaHarris Stay with it the people don’t know what insurance companies and their employer is doing to them. Education is a must for must but don’t back down. You that corrupt corporate America is getting rich off their employees!!

We are not even into February and the cost of illegal immigration so far this year is $18,959,495,168. Cost Friday was $603,331,392. There are at least 25,772,342 illegal aliens, not the 11,000,000 that have been reported for years, in our Country. So ridiculous! DHS

Socialist/communist

Willing to end private insurance but not private prisons.

For s day!

I’d love to see Medicare for all. But being realistic it’s just not possible to make that jump. First and foremost, where are all those people employed by the insurance companies going to find a job. Sure the government will end up hiring some of these folks.

Then immediately back peddles...

Swinging for the fences 👏👏👏 Good luck.

Anybody can say where give you free food to get millions of votes but will that food be spoiled not be there we'll have to wait 4 weeks to get it?

End private insurance? WTF? I like my insurance and can't imagine GOVERNMENT treating my healthcare just like they handle DMV and all other government agencies... We will all die much more quickly!

Omg, go away !

Will the KneepadQueen explain how much it would cost and how she wants to pay for it? FullOfSchiff

Well alrighty then

She's blowing smoke out her cooter. Never get the votes.

Nutty

Cutting the middleman out of our healthcare system will lead to decrease costs and better care

well

Ask Canada & England how good it is 👎🏼👎🏼

Seems like many if not most Americans don't even realize it doesn't have to be this way. we don't have to get our insurance through employers and we don't need insurance companies in the middle of making a profit. This isn't rocket science. Fuck the status quo

Aetna is it the devil 😵

1984. Dangerous. Distgusting.

Quality over quantity.

So does anyone think she has a chance in hell to win?

People getting screwed out of their HC plans again? What can go wrong, again?

So free care for all & no wall? What could go wrong

Do YOU support this plan?

Get it?

Stupid. Should at least have both to let people have an option.

She has the legal skills...

We need this!!! 🙌🏻
