WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Warren is promising to spend more than $20 trillion over the next decade to provide government-funded health care to every American without raising middle class taxes.
The stakes are high since Warren spent weeks, and two straight Democratic presidential primary debates, refusing to provide a straight answer on if she’d have to increase middle class to pay for her “Medicare for All” plan.
The issue has meant sustained tough headlines for Warren, who had ridden a steady summer rise in the polls to catch former Vice-President Joe Biden atop the crowded 2020 primary field.
Detailed in a 20-page online post, Warren’s proposal relies on employers transferring to the government nearly all of what they currently spend on private health insurance for employees.
