Kamala Harris: If You Like Your Healthcare Plan, You Can’t Keep It

Between now and November, Harris’s campaign staff will likely attempt to sanitize her position as she seeks to mask her radicalism. Inconveniently for her, she didn’t just say it once. She repeated her threat multiple times before multiple audiences.
“If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.”
In 2013, Barack Obama was awarded PolitiFact’s “Lie of the Year” for making that claim during his ObamaCare sales pitch.
Notably, it wasn’t just the PolitiFact staff who considered that dishonor appropriate. In its reader poll of the ten finalists for “Lie of the Year,” a whopping 59% chose Obama’s claim, with the next option all the way down at just 8%.
Kamala Harris, however, didn’t bother attempting to conceal her preference to abolish private healthcare plans in favor of a wholesale government takeover.
