Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris of California was scolded by a nursing-home resident who told the politician to leave the health-care system alone.
Nursing home resident slams Kamala Harris' health care plan:
Woman: "you are advocating health care for everyone ... who's going to pay for it?"
Harris: "Well, we're going to pay for it"
W: "No we're not. Leave our health care system alone. We don't want you to mess with
Twitter news aggregator Twitchy commented:: “Ah, the primaries … when lumbering socialist dolts like Bill de Blasio finally leave Manhattan and try to act natural at the Iowa County Fair.

“Harris visited a nursing home where she was asked the same question she’d been asked and will continue to be asked: Who’s going to pay for her health care plan (which might or might not do away with private insurance — we’re not sure if she’s flipped or flopped on that this week)?”
The resident, not identified, asked Harris who’s paying for her huge health-care-for-all plan.
Harris response: “We’re going to.”
The woman said, “No we’re not. Leave our health-care system alone. We don’t want you to mess with it.”
Harris was left fumbling for an answer, finally assuring the nursing-home resident she wanted her to have the health-care system she desired.
Twitter user Drummer87 explained, “She just promised an old lady something that she knows she cannot do.
