    Her campaign website is still up let’s go read it right now: LINK

    As Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris took on insurance companies and Big Pharma and got them to lower prices. As a Senator, she fought Donald Trump’s attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

    Vice President Harris will make affordable health care a right, not a privilege by expanding and strengthening the Affordable Care Act and making permanent the Biden-Harris tax credit enhancements that are lowering health care premiums by an average of about $800 a year for millions of Americans. She’ll build on the Biden-Harris Administration’s successes in bringing down the cost of lifesaving prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries by extending the $35 cap on insulin and $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket spending for seniors to all Americans. Her tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act gave Medicare the power to go toe to toe with Big Pharma and negotiate lower drug prices. As President, she’ll accelerate the negotiations to cover more drugs and lower prices for Americans. As Vice President, she also announced that medical debt will be removed from credit reports, and helped cancel $7 billion of medical debt for 3 million Americans. As President, she’ll work with states to cancel medical debt for even more Americans.

    And Vice President Harris has led the Administration’s efforts to combat maternal mortality. Women nationwide are dying from childbirth at higher rates than in any other developed nation. The Vice President called on states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from two months to twelve: today, 46 states do so — up from just three near the Administration’s start.

    Oh look at that, cancelling medical debts and making healthcare a right, not a privilege. All of her plans listed are things she could have actually done as president and things she actually did do as a senator, so it explicitly excludes healthcare for all because: once again, this wacky tangent you’ve thrown us on means fuck all because you need a Senate Majority to end privatized healthcare and health insurance.

    So elect a Dem supermajority and we will have single payer.

      So clearly you did look it up. Go ahead and point to where, specifically, it discusses single payer. Calling it a “right, not a privilege” is rhetoric. The actual plans mentioned do not discuss single payer. You see this, right? That these aren’t the same things?

        I specifically already mentioned that in my comment, where I specifically explained to you that PRESIDENTS DONT DECIDE THIS. SENATE DOES.

          Yeah and I’m saying that a Dem supermajority will not magically do something that Democrats have made clear that they are not interested in doing.

          Kamala’s plans are not destructive, but they would treat a symptom and not the actual disease. That’s not nothing, that’s why I voted for her, but it’s not sufficient either.

          Presidents don’t decide this unilaterally, but that doesn’t stop them from supporting it. Kamala doesn’t. Dems don’t.
