Flashback: Harris proposed middle class tax increase for ‘Sanders-lite’ health care plan
Fox News
Vice President Kamala Harris proposed a "Medicare For All Plan" during her primary campaign for president in the 2020 election, which critics have said would hurt the middle class.
Harris cited fellow presidential primary rival Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders' Medicare For All plan as the model for how to pay for her plan, with the then-California senator specifically pointing to an "income based premium paid by employers, higher taxes on the top 1%, taxing capital gains at the same rate as ordinary income, among others." Michael Lee is a writer for Fox News. Prior to joining Fox News, Michael worked for the Washington Examiner, Bongino.com, and Unbiased America. He has covered politics for more than eight years.
Harris also provided a link to the Sanders plan, which included a 7.5% payroll tax increase for employers and a 4% increase in income taxes on households making over $29,000.
