"Let's eliminate all of that," Kamala Harris says of private insurance.
"Let's move on." Kirsten Gillibrand calls abolishing private insurance "An urgent goal." "Under Medicare for all we cover all basic healthcare needs, so they're not going to be there to do that," Bernie Sanders says of existing insurance companies.
The words strike as more reckless if more honest than "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it." Medicare for All, as the fine print details, means private insurance for none.
Gillibrand insisted "Health care must be a right, not a privilege" at the rally last week reintroducing the Medicare for All bill.
The proposed legislation makes it "Unlawful" for "a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act" and for "An employer to provide benefits for an employee, former employee, or the dependents of an employee or former employee that duplicate the benefits provided under this Act.".
Strangely, forcing 20 million or so from Obamacare ranks as an unconscionable act of malice by the backers of Medicare for All that seeks to force 180 million from their private insurance plans, which they regard as enlightened, progressive, forward looking.
Banning private insurance may prove a winning formula in a Democratic primary.
