"Well, first of all, I like Kamala. She's a friend of mine but her plan is not 'Medicare for All,' " Sanders told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" hosted from Detroit on Monday. "What Medicare for All understands is that health care is a human right and the function of a sane health care system is not to make sure that insurance companies and drug companies make tens of billions of dollars in profit."

"The function of Medicare For All is to guarantee health care to all people as soon as possible," Sanders continued.

Speaking to Harris' goal to achieve Medicare for All in 10 years, Sanders said, "We think that four years is as long as it should be, not 10 years."

"And that's one of the reasons I disagree with Sen. Harris," he added.
