Top Dem presidential candidate says she wants to eliminate all private health insurance; media ignore

Monday, Kamala Harris appeared on CNN --and called for all private health insurance to be "eliminated."  Instead, she said she favors "Medicare for all"--in which almost all costs would be paid by the federal government--meaning by borrowing from China, or by taxpayers.

Since Private 177 million people currently have private health insurance, and in light of the utter disaster of government's venture into Obamacare and VA hospital care, most people would consider her statement to be extremely radical, and thus worth reporting.

And normally any statement made by Harris--the front-runner for the Democrat presidential nomination--would be fawningly, slobberingly covered by the mainstream lying media.  But in this case ABC and NBC’s shows Tuesday morning said not a single word about her “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”


Only CBS This Morning bothered to even mention it--and then only in a breezy single line, implying that the proposal was no more controversial than the sun shining.  CBS co-host John Dickerson explained, “Kamala Harris says all Americans should have Medicare and it's time to move on from private insurance.”

So...NOT "eliminated," just “move on” from it.  Harris just proposed throwing more than half the country off of plans they're currently comfortable with, and creating a vast new bureaucratic empire to control health care.  Yet the lying media either ignored it altogether, or glossed it over ("it's time to move on from private insurance.").
Imagine the shrieking if a Republican did something that tone-deaf.  But when a Dem does it, the media ignores it.  Cool.

Prediction:  Harris's campaign will try to walk back the call to abolish private health insurance, but will pound away on the benefits of "medicare for all."  Then they won't answer questions about private health insurance.  Of course no reporter will dare to ask such questions.  So her true proposal--to abolish the private insurance policies that cover half of all Americans--will "go down the memory hole," as Orwell put it.

Nice to have a friendly media covering for the top Democrat candidate's pro-socialist statements, eh?

H/T Newsbusters.

Here's where the Left has dragged our society

Wanna see yet another example of how the crazies have taken over the U.S?

Okay, you probably don't.  But you need to, to know where we're headed if the crazies keep winning elections (like control of the House).   So here's a story from Oregon:
The case of Alanna Nicole Partin continues to produce sparks in the courtroom of Benton County Circuit Court Judge Locke A. Williams.  Partin, who has been charged with a series of weapons counts, used her arraignment hearing Monday to continue to challenge the authority of the court.
Partin, who showed up in court 15 minutes late, and said “This court has no standing over me. I am above this court.”
Partin appears to be mounting a sovereign citizen defense, a legal tactic that denies the validity of the U.S. judicial system.

Judge Willliams stood firm, saying that he would not remove her court-appointed attorney, that he would enter a not-guilty plea on her behalf, and that he “will not be getting into a discussion of your belief system.”
Partin replied “If you won’t hear this case appropriately, I'll take it to someone who will.”
Williams said he hopes to set a trial date soon . He also told Partin that if she is late to court again he would have her arrested, and suggested that a mental health evaluation also might be required to determine if she is competent to assist in her case.
Partin is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, interfering with a peace officer and failure to carry or present a driver’s license. The firearms charge carries a potential five-year sentence.
Below is a pic of the person calling itself "Alanna Nicole Partin"--a person the Left and the media demand you call female. 

And the crazy I have in mind is NOT Partin, but every "journalist" and editor of every mainstream media outlet, for using female pronouns in every article concerning transgenders.  Shades of George Orwell's 1984:  Freedom is slavery, citizen.  War is peace.

The snowflakes and moonbats of the Left demand that rational citizens call men women and vice-versa.  If they succeed in forcing people to so blatantly, obviously call something by its opposite--and the above article, like thousands of others, shows that the mainstream media and leftists are perfectly willing to do that--how can there be any rational discussion with them about anything--because they reject the ordinary meaning of words.
