On Monday, Harris visited Iowa in order to speak with older people at the Bickford Senior Living Center. During this time, Roberta Jewell, 91, called over Harris and inquired about who will pay for healthcare for everyone. When Harris responded by claiming “we” will pay for it, Jewell shook her head and expressed her concerns:
“Leave our health care alone. We don’t want you to mess with it.”

Following Jewell’s statements, Harris responded with the following remarks:
“I want to make sure that it’s the way you like it, I promise you that. I won’t mess with the health care that you have.”
Harris has previously faced criticism for what others view as failure to properly articulate her stance on healthcare.
Criticism Against Harris on Healthcare
While many Democrats believe Harris’ stance on healthcare is unclear, the right-wing has other concerns. Conservative note that Harris’ statements are parallel to former President Obama’s vows to let Americans keep their plans if they wished. Of course, this did not pan out. Therefore, many people have concerns that a similar scenario will play out if Kamala Harris gets her way on healthcare.
