Sen. Warren says she will soon release a plan detailing how to pay for 'Medicare for All' after facing criticism from some of her 2020 rivals for declining to get into specifics about how her health care plan would be funded.
"You know right now the cost estimates for Medicare for All vary by trillions and trillions of dollars and the different revenue streams for how to fund it, there are a lot of them," she said."So, this is something I've been working on for months and months and it's got just a little more work until it's finished."
As Warren has reached a neck-and-neck point with former Vice President Joe Biden in the polls, the rest of the field hason her, focusing in on how she would fund Medicare for All. She came under fire during the most recent Democratic primary debate when she refused to give a yes or no answer on whether the middle class would face a tax increase to pay for the plan, in addition to more broadly refusing to clearly spell out how the plan would be funded.
Sanders has said the middle class would be subjected to a tax increase to fund the health care plan, but insisted Americans would pay less toward health care costs overall as a result of his plan being passed.contributed.
