Dumpster Fire! Kamala Harris Quickly Reverses Herself On Abolishing Private Insurance

America is on a collision course with a nightmare if it doesn’t self-destruct first…

Despite being all but crowned as the 2020 Democratic party nominee by the media at this early juncture, Kamala Harris’s entry into the contentious race has already hit choppy waters.

The California senator was featured in one of those phony CNN town halls on Monday night where all of the questions are softballs and conservatives are not allowed to participate and despite the stacked audience, Harris committed a major unforced error that confirms the suspicions of some that she is a media-created amateur.

There are those who have referred to Harris as the “female Obama” and she was quick to follow in the former president’s footsteps by giving Americans a reminder of the disaster that is Obamacare when she one-upped him by calling for the elimination of private health insurance entirely in favor of the Medicare for all proposals that have been the bread and butter of socialists.

Shades of Obama’s “you can keep your doctor” and the reaction was fast, furious and almost overwhelmingly negative for what former Starbucks CEO and probable third-party candidate Howard Schultz quickly decried as “not American” during an interview on CBS.

Fellow billionaire and possible Democrat candidate Micheal Bloomberg also threw water on the idea of switching to a Medicare for all system.

Thrown off guard by the firestorm of criticism, the flummoxed Harris quickly flip-flopped showing that she is nothing more than the same old dishonest politician albeit in different packaging to appeal to easily-duped millennials and emotionally-challenged social justice warriors.

Harris’s reversal was so abrupt that it left smoking rubber tracks on the road.

Via CNN, “Kamala Harris is open to multiple paths to ‘Medicare-for-all'”:

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.

The media will quickly circle the wagons to minimize the controversy but that’s one that will haunt her for the duration of her campaign.

It certainly will be fodder for Republican campaign commercials if she is able to survive the brutal gauntlet of the primaries when up to two dozen Democrats will rip each other to shreds for the prize of getting creamed by President Trump next November.

Despite the hype, it already looks like Harris isn’t ready for prime time.
