Kamala: Kick 177 million off private insurance

On Monday, presidential candidate Sen.

Harris immediately took her campaign to Iowa, the state that votes first in the nominating process, holding a televised town hall from Des Moines where she eviscerated the Trump administration for "lighting that fire" of racial division and seeking to "vilify" young immigrants. She was warm, witty and quick to laugh at the jokes audience members made at President Donald Trump's expense. That's why Democrats are panicking over the possibility of a third party candidate like Howard Schultz, former Starbucks CEO, who could siphon off many anti-Trump votes by not running as a complete loony.

"We're gonna have rationed care and it's not gonna be what Americans want", he said.

She is not just saying that dealing with private insurance is sometimes annoying, which most people would agree is true, and that this should be fixed.

When questions began to swirl over her impartiality, Harris has become keen to distance herself from the former mayor. She officially announced her presidential bid on Sunday in her birthplace of Oakland, California, where thousands showed up hoping to catch a glimpse of her in the surrounding streets.

Tapper followed up, pressing Harris on what a Medicare-for-all system means for the Americans who like their current insurance. "She knew that her adopted homeland would see Maya and me as black girls, and she was determined to make sure we would grow into confident, proud black women".

The crowd packed out the California city's Frank Ogawa Plaza to watch the Democratic senator launch a bid to oust Donald Trump as U.S. president in 2020.

During CNN's live broadcast from Drake University in Des Moines, Harris spoke from a stage in front of a friendly audience of Iowans who said they plan to take part in the Democratic caucuses a little more than a year from now. "We should not be trading on your life". Since her announcement, Harris has been criticized for her background as a prosecutor for the District Attorney of San Francisco, and Attorney General of California.

"I'm also intrigued by some of these people who are waiting a little bit". Later, she expresses her hope to be "a joyful warrior", a phrase that harkens back to the last century, and perhaps foreshadows a fierce fight for the country's top office.

Morgan, a longtime Democratic fundraiser who considered a run for governor himself before becoming an independent, said that the origins of his firm's famous phrase is simple: "I stole it from Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence". But she went on to add that it would also be about "breaking barriers, it is something that is very important".

According to a recent poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 56 percent of survey respondents said they favored a Medicare-for-all plan.
