Single-payer advocates on Monday accused Sen. Kamala Harris of hijacking the Medicare for All label to push an alternative that would fail to fundamentally overhaul America's for-profit healthcare system. Harris, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, outlined what she described as her 'Medicare for All' plan in a Medium post on Monday.

'Since under Senator Harris's plan an HMO, or other private commercial insurer, will continue to determine coverage and doctors for millions of people--and profit from denials of care--that's not healthcare as a human right.' Echoing Lighty's critique, Physicians for a National Health Program president Adam Gaffney called the reliance on private insurance the 'major deficiency at the heart of Harris' healthcare plan.
