Former Reagan economist Art Laffer and Fox News contributor Robert Wolf debate Kamala Harris' 'Medicare-for-all' plan on 'America Reports.'

Kamala Harris is a lifelong liberal with a health care platform to the left of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton combined. She promised that "Medicare-for-all is our goal" and committed to abolish private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan.

Learning from Obama about the utility of lying to voters before you take away their health plans, she first allowed a limited exception for Medicare Advantage plans and more recently denied her previous positions.

Make no mistake: Her radical ideas would put the government in charge of health care instead of doctors.

First, forcing everyone onto a government-run plan is like unleashing the bureaucracy of the DMV onto our health care sector, obliterating choice and competition. It forces 150 million Americans off their insurance, making workers give up popular plans provided by employers and unions. It ends the Medicare program for seniors, and ends private coverage for 30 million seniors with Medicare Advantage and 22 million seniors who supplement traditional Medicare coverage.
