Harris's proposal positions her to the right of progressives, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose plan goes farther and gets to a 'Medicare for All' health care system more quickly
Harris' proposal, which her campaign unveiled just days before she takes the stage in Detroit for the second Democratic presidential debate, hosted by CNN, positions her to the right of progressives, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose plan goes farther and gets to a"Medicare for All" health care system more quickly.
Harris raisies the threshold, exempting households making below $100,000, with an even higher income threshold for families living in high-cost areas. A progressive tax system would be designed for households making over $100,000.In a CNN interview earlier this month, Harris pledged she would achieve universal health care without raising middle-class taxes, saying,"I'm not prepared to engage in a middle-class tax hike.
