Elizabeth Warren's medicare for all funding plan asks rich people, companies and the military to pay for poor people not dying

To achieve Medicare for All, Warren proposes redirecting $6 trillion that state and local governments are already spending on insurance, and making up the remaining $20.5 trillion by redirecting employer contributions currently going to private health insurance companies, upping taxes on the financial industry, “big corporations” and the very wealthiest Americans, and “a targeted cut to a Defense Dept. slush fund” — the Overseas Contingency Operations fund.

At points in her lengthy explanation, Warren took shots at the rivals who attacked her over her support for Medicare for All. “Every candidate who opposes my long-term goal of Medicare for All should explain why the ‘choice’ of private insurance plans is more important than being able to choose the doctor that’s best for you without worrying about whether they are in-network or not,” Warren writes.

Warren’s plan also addresses a question that, frustratingly, has been much of the media’s primary obsession in the debate over Medicare for All: Would candidates raise taxes to pay for it?

Not a Warren supporter, but MedicareForAll as Bernie wrote it, is about preventative healthcare. Preventing sickness is a lot cheaper than curing sickness.

It’s out now that not only did she lie about being Native American she likely lied about losing a job due to pregnancy! The New York Times knew and tried to cover it up.

If she thinks that will work.... Surprise... It wont

what utter nonsense. it asks middle class taxpayers to pay for it. if you can't see that you shouldn't be writing about politics.

Trump supporter response ? I’ll gladly work at a low wage and forgo healthcare insurance if it means that my multi-millionaire boss can become even richer.

Companies exploit American workers and it’s about time they pitch in. Rich people exploit American workers and it’s about time they pay their fair share. If the military stops paying like $15,000 for toilet seats and $3000 for hammers or some shit they can afford to contribute.

Why people should pay for others?

That’s an interesting and very superficial take on this.

Each and every company will just incorporate in another country. These are global businesses, that don’t have to even stay in the US....so what’s your next plan?

Taxing them is not asking them

Ya what is considered rich ? Why is Bernie’s books he’s selling paying for anyone’s Medicare

swipe left

Define rich ppl

Hard pass.

Elizabeth Warren says she would tap billionaires and large employers to pay the bulk of $20.5 trillion in new spending over a decade to finance her Medicare for All health plan. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ...OL They will say anything to get elected. Remember when Bush said to read his lips he wouldn't raise taxes. And Obama saying he believed marriage should be between a man and a woman and even admitted he lied to get elected?
