CNN anchor John King pointedly noted in his post-debate analysis that Sen. Kamala Harris failed to admit Wednesday that her plan to provide health coverage to all Americans would mean the end of private health insurance for millions.
“She should have learned this from … the first debate,” King said. “She still refuses.”
“If you get it [health coverage] from your employer, you lose it,” King explained. “She does not want to say that. She wants to find some other way to talk around it.”
King acknowledged that similar policies proposed on the previous night by fellow Democratic candidates Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders included admissions that private insurance would be eliminated.
“Her campaign motto is ‘Speak Truth,'” King said of Harris. “Well, the truth is her plan takes [private insurance] away and she doesn’t want to say that.”
