Harris unveils Medicare-for-all plan that doesn't raise middle class taxes, ahead of debates

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris on Monday unveiled a plan to push the country towards a government-backed Medicare-for-all healthcare system over the next decade. But unlike the proposal of one of her key rivals for the Democratic nomination – Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – the plan by California Democrat would not completely eliminate the private insurance currently used by hundreds of millions of Americans. And Harris emphasized that unlike Sanders, she would not raise taxes on the middle class to pay for her Medicare-for-all system.
