My liberal friends--yes, I have them--complain to me about calling many Democratic politicians leftists.
Well, like Willie Brown's former girlfriend Kamala Harris, they do leftist things, such as advocate for socialized medicine and abolishing private insurance.
Harris, a Democratic member of the US Senate for two years, did just that last night.
"We need to have Medicare-for-all." When asked by CNN's Jake Tapper if that mean eliminating private insurance, she said it does, citing paperwork hassle with insurers. Of course that happens. But government, unless you are a 76-year-old man and the FBI is raiding your home, is even more inefficient than health insurance companies.
So much so that Canadians in need of surgery often travel to the United States because of health care wait lists there.
