Kamala Harris says she misinterpreted question on abolishing private insurance
NBC's Lester Holt asked for the 10 candidates on stage [Thursday night] to raise their hands if their health care plans would "abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan?"
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Harris were the only two candidates who put their hands up, but Harris said Friday she does not support getting rid of all private insurance.
The California Democrat said she misunderstood the question and believed it was about whether she, personally, would give up her private plan in favor of Medicare.
. . . .
"I am supportive of a Medicare for All policy, and under a Medicare for All policy, private insurance would certainly exist for supplemental coverage," she added on CBS.
Not at all Bernie's goal, is it?
