From WSJopinion: If you like your private health plan, Kamala Harris wouldn’t let you keep it

Even liberals say Kamala Harris had a bad second debate Wednesday as she struggled to defend her record as a prosecutor and her new health-care plan. The latter is especially revealing about the Democratic debate on health care and is worth explaining in more detail.

Ms. Harris in the June debate raised her hand when the moderators asked who would eliminate private health insurance. Then she backtracked. Ahead of the debates this week in a post on Medium, Ms. Harris tried to clarify how she’d “make transformative change for...

we won’t be loosing any sleep over this matter, Kamala Harris is in no danger of becoming president. You can take it to the bank.

opinion Someone has to ask these politicians are they going give up their Cadillac health plan and accept the one they would like to force down our throats?

opinion I used to think highly of her BUT, not now. Her record as a prosecutor makes her unqualified to be President. Healthcare is also not her strong point!

opinion Why is she wasting her time she will never win! KamalaHarris

opinion You were once a decent paper of record. Now you’re just a Fox/Trump/Murdoch mouthpiece. You’re a disgrace to press freedom. Worthless hacks.

opinion ACA did not let you kerp it either what’s new

opinion This woman is a stain on America

opinion A stupid framing of the question. One could just as well ask is it OK if everyone gets good healthcare?

opinion Neither will RepubliCONs

opinion Whatever plan the 24 Democrats have for health insurance is dead on arrival in the Senate. Their credibility has been destroyed by the Obamacare lies. Never again.

opinion Just because you’re too stupid for your own good, don’t worry, the democrats will help you. I don’t understand why employers aren’t all over this. Let them off the hook and manage their businesses instead of picking healthcare plans. Most of which are inadequate.

opinion What if it sucks?

opinion Of course not! What good would socialized medicine do if everyone wasn’t screwed the same.!

opinion If you like your private health plan? Real niche audience .

opinion Obamacare is a disaster. Heathcare is more costly today for the average American then in my life time. And know the Democrats want to take it even further down some dark hole we will never recover from. They weaponized the IRS then the FBI and NSA. But now they want healthcare.

opinion Sure she would.

opinion You guys really suck at this journalism thingy

opinion Everyone will have the same crappy plan. At least it will be free for some.

opinion I believe Medicare for all would obliterate the need for a Private Health Plan. Medicare is better than any private plan out there.

opinion Really, just like Obamacare!! What a joke.

opinion To the morons on this thread no such thing as free healthcare

opinion Yes. We all want to be limited the our insurance company network instead of M4A allowing us to go to any doctor. And Lord knows I love that insurance companies get to add BILLIONS to costs.

opinion Who cares about her plan now? She's finished after my girl TulsiGabbard hit her with the kill shot.

opinion Kinda sad to watch Politicians make things worse for this country.

opinion Don’t worry she’s not a serious candidate.

opinion Why candidates, be it Kamala or be it Bernie, are trying to sell new healthcare system to voters like it was so simple do? Trump promised to repeal and replace the Obamacare, did it work? No. So stop selling healthcare plans. Instead, offer voters $1000/mo like Yang, it is easy.

opinion KamalaHarris is working hard!

opinion I don't know one person who actually likes their health plan. People just like not dying.

opinion I have a private health plan and I love it. I don’t want to lose it!

opinion Let’s do a quick survey- DO YOU LIKE YOUR INSURANCE PLAN?

opinion Hey, KamalaHarris Thanks, but no thanks! No socializedmedicine

opinion Kamala’s plastic surgeon has his work cut out for him after that brutal SMACKDOWN by Tulsi!

opinion Because private health plans don't work lmao.

opinion You gonna get arrested talking like that!

opinion No employer lets one keep his health plan post employment. COBRA is a limited time government mandate to let sick unhealthy people with enough savings keep their healthy risk pool employment coverage till savings depleted. In America, no one can his health plan - by design.

opinion False accusations!

opinion I dislike KopKamala but this article is wrong / misleading

opinion All I ever hear is how the monthly premiums are unaffordable, the deductibles are sky high, the co-pays are outrageous and people are going bankrupt due to medical debt. So, who are these people that are determined to keep their private insurance

opinion It’s the Democratic way... Obama ruined my healthcare seven years ago.

opinion

opinion How freaking disengenuous- as if any new health care laws wouldn’t go through rigerous debate and changes in Congress.

opinion Exactly nobody is going to let you keep the same plan you have. Your plan changes basically every year. The GOP’s answer to this is to let it continue to increase in price at a faster rate and offer fewer services into perpetuity.

opinion She has no idea what she’s talking about. I think she’s lost.

opinion I do not understand why people would prefer a private heath plan over free health care.

opinion If you have a preexisting condition, GOP says you can pound sand

opinion MUAHAHAHAHAH, Kermala Harris is a JOKE!

opinion Who likes their private health plan? Who?!?

Bill to improve health savings accounts for Medicare users comes with a big downsideWhile the Health Savings for Seniors Act would allow contributions to HSAs to continue (or start) if you're on Medicare, it also would limit what you can use the withdrawals for. i rather have control of my money too.
