Description: "In 2017, [Harris] co-sponsored Sen. Bernard Sanders’ 'Medicare for All' legislation, which would have banned private health insurance and created a government-run system open to everyone, including illegal immigrants. When she ran for president in 2019, Ms. Harris modified her proposal to expand Medicare to allow private insurance to offer a plan in the system. At the end of 10 years, everyone would be enrolled in Medicare, either through a new Medicare plan or one offered by the private insurance system. To pay for the proposal, Ms. Harris proposed taxing Wall Street transactions and imposing a 4% tax on households earning more than $100,000 annually, with specific exemptions for households in high-cost areas."

Description: "Harris’ endorsement of Biden’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget proposal this week. The proposal would allow Americans to be taxed up to 44.6% on long-term capital gains if other tax increase proposals are implemented next year... According to the Post Millennial, the Biden-Harris proposal would represent more than a 100% increase on taxes for capital gains.
