Kamala Harris Shifts Stance On Health Care Policy

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris meets with gun violence victims in Parkland

Vice President Kamala Harris, who previously advocated for 'Medicare For All,' seems to be shifting her stance on healthcare this election cycle. During her 2019 presidential campaign, Harris unveiled her plan for 'Medicare for All,' emphasizing the need to end attacks on Obamacare and asserting that healthcare should be a right, not a privilege limited to the affluent.

In her 2019 statement, Harris expressed her vision for a system where everyone has access to medical care without the bureaucratic hurdles of dealing with insurance companies. She highlighted the inefficiencies of the current system, citing delays caused by approval processes and paperwork.
