Kamala Harris introduces new healthcare plan that would keep private insurers in the game

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris introduced a healthcare proposal Monday that would allow private health insurers to continue doing business, even as it would enroll most people living in the U.S. in a government plan.

Harris had previously gone back and forth about whether private insurance should be allowed. In the Senate, she is a cosponsor of the Medicare for All Act, introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, which would ban private plans. Monday’s proposal comes just ahead of the next round Democratic debates, set for Tuesday and Wednesday in Detroit.
