Criticisms came from two opponents in the Democratic field, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Mr. Sanders’ campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, criticized Ms. Harris’ plan for using the name “Medicare for All” but keeping a role for private insurance companies. Ms. Harris previously endorsed Mr. Sanders’ Medicare for All bill, which would eliminate private payers. His campaign also criticized her promise to avoid raising taxes on the middle class, noting a healthcare plan would need to pay for itself somehow.
Mr. Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, criticized the plan’s 10-year rollout of Medicare for All, noting it pushes off a full implementation until after a two-term presidency.
