Hey, if a candidate wants to argue that Medicare for all is NOT the solution, fine. Put forth an argument, it's unaffordable, it will yield poor outcomes, whatever. Put out a plan and let The People examine it.
Let's have a discussion.
But wrapping yourself in the flag and smearing people with the suggestion that their idea is 'not American', 'UnAmerican' or some other loaded term is not appropriate. It is a smear. It is cheap shot that attempts to prevent discussion.
Do better.
Howard Schultz Rips Kamala Harris for Backing Medicare for All: 'That's Not American'
Host Norah O’Donnell challenged previous comments that Schultz made on 60 Minutes in which Schultz ostensibly compared Democrat’s proposal for universal health care to a border wall.
Schultz recalled a clip previously aired of Senator Harris supporting Medicare for all by saying “she wants to abolish the insurance industry.”
“That’s not correct. That’s not American,” Schultz claimed, adding “What’s next? What industry are we going to abolish next? The coffee industry?”
