On the Biden-Harris Health Plan:

You might change your mind about the Democrat Health Plan being a good thing, Read what Ezekiel "Zeke" J. Emanuel one of President Obama's health advisor​s - and certainly one of Joe Biden's advisers - told Yahoo Finance on October 10, 2020 and in The Atlantic Magazine in October 2014. I'll bet Joe Biden did not hear what Zeke says from any of the citizens that he consulted.
