Sen. Sherrod Brown stands with Sen. Kamala Harris' plan to eliminate private health insurance, which she's already backed away from

Well, this is awkward.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said he stands with fellow Sen. Kamala Harris’ (D-CA) plan to eliminate private insurance in favor of Medicaid-for-all:

It’s awkward because as we told you last night, Sen. Kamala Harris no longer agrees with her plan to eliminate all private insurance:

BREAKING: Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) changes her stance on healthcare in under 24 hours after her CNN town hall

"As the furor grew," a Harris adviser said "she would also be open to the more moderate health reform plans, which would preserve the industry"https://t.co/8BABosnkk5

This opens up a perfect opportunity for Sen. Brown to paraphrase former presidential candidate John Kerry with, “I was for Kamala Harris’ plan to socialize all of America’s health care right before I was against it!”
