Slower than Bernie Sanders, but more ambitious than Joe Biden: How Harris aims to achieve universal health coverage.
Harris’ new plan breaks with her rivals who occupy the opposite poles of the debate by effectively proposing “Medicare Advantage for all” — permitting private insurers to continue selling plans, akin to the two-decade-old offshoot of Medicare — in addition to letting Americans immediately buy into the traditional Medicare program and adding new benefits, like more mental health services. As a result, Americans would be able to choose between the public plan or certified private Medicare plans.
“If they want to play by our rules, they can be in the system,” Harris writes in the Medium post. “If not, they have to get out.” In a statement, Sebelius called Harris’ proposal “innovative” and said it built on the progress of Obamacare while expanding on the promise of universal coverage through the Medicare system.
