Those waiting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to clash again didn't have to wait long: the two began the debate dueling over competing health care proposals. LIVE UPDATES: DemDebate
Kamala Harris released a health care proposal on Monday that sought to bridge the Democratic Party's disparate factions. Instead, she drew criticism from rivals across the political spectrum.
"I have a vision of what it should be, and the existing plans that are being offered did not express what I wanted," the California senator told reporters. "This new, have-it-every-which-way approach pushes the extremely challenging implementation of the Medicare for All part of this plan ten years into the future, meaning it would not occur on the watch of even a two-term administration," said Biden's deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield."The result? A Bernie Sanders-lite Medicare for All and a refusal to be straight with the American middle class, who would have a large tax increase forced on them with this plan.
"This plan continues to give private insurance a very central role in the health care system," he said."We have seen for decades that that does not work." Harris has repeatedly been forced to clear up her stance on Medicare for All. She previously appeared to suggest that she supported abolishing private insurance but later clarified that she does not.
