The health care plan she rolled out that July stopped short of completely eliminating private insurance. Instead, it would have shifted the US to a government-backed health insurance system by transitioning to a Medicare-for-All-type system over 10 years and continuing to allow private insurance companies to offer Medicare plans.
What they actually said, which is a reasonable path forward
Am I missing something? There is nothing new in the article. It's just contrasting Harris' Senate record and 2020 primary stances with the pragmatic political compromises that the Biden-Harris administration has made over the past 3.5 years because they had to deal with getting things through Congress. Of course the compromises made with Congress are going to be more to the right than what Harris has previously advocated for as her ideal stances, that's what politics is...
How dare she operate within the confines of the democratic system as best she can to slowly make progress towards her goals instead of challenging each republican in congress to a Fight to the Death in order to usurp their positions and pass the idealized bill herself!
You're joking, but I would absolutely vote for a politician that's willing to throw hands in Congress to save people from the American healthcare system.
