Kamala Harris is in Florida for the first day of early voting in the key state. At a stop in Orlando, the California Senator concentrated on an issue important to the voters in the state, healthcare:
“We’re going to expand Medicare. Joe Biden is going to bring down eligibility for Medicare to age 60. We’re going to bring down prescription drug costs. We are going to preserve social security and the promise we made to our seniors. We’re going to expand coverage under the Affordable Care Act to include mental health care.”
Harris then took aim at the president saying, “Donald Trump has this weird obsession with trying to get rid of whatever Barack Obama and Joe Biden created. Have you noticed that? It’s this weird obsession, right? Loco.”
“Do you know Donald Trump is in court right now trying to get rid of it with his boy Bill Barr, trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act that brought coverage to over 20 million people, that said if you have pre-existing conditions, things like diabetes … Do you know anybody who has diabetes? Pre-existing conditions like high blood pressure, breast cancer, all of these things now covered because of the Affordable Care Act that Barack Obama and Joe Biden created. And Donald Trump is in court trying to sue to get rid of it.
But we’re not going to let him. We’re not going to let him, because what we know and what Joe knows is access to healthcare should be a right and not just a privilege of those who can afford it. So we’re going to fight.”
