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?
