Harris campaign won't push 'Medicare-for-all': Report

The Harris campaign does not plan to advocate for "Medicare-for-all" in the 2024 campaign cycle, one campaign official told Fox News's Peter Doocy.

Harris previously supported the "Medicare-for-all" agenda during her prior presidential run. The policy was a keynote initiative of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who advanced the plan during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns. Harris was also a cosponsor of Sanders' 2019 legislation on the matter.

“I believe the solution—and I actually feel very strongly about this—is that we need to have Medicare for all," Harris said during a CNN town hall in Iowa as part of the 2020 primary cycle. "That’s just the bottom line…it is inhumane to make people go through a system where they cannot literally receive the benefit of what medical science can offer because some insurance company has decided it doesn’t meet their bottom line."

She subsequent insisted that she had no intention of eliminating private insurance.

The apparent about-face on the issue marks only the latest in a string of major policy adjustments since she became the Democratic standard bearer.
