Liz knocks it outa the park with her Medicare For All funding plan!

Amy, Joe, and Pete: You’re gonna need a better argument…

Have to confess I’ve been straying from the Warren fold of late, was worried that she didn’t have a plan to fund Medicare for All without the funding fears some of the other candidates have been stoking. The Warren campaign hasn’t helped either, as I’ve grown tired of explaining farming to them despite the fact that Liz’s farm policy is straight out of the Farmer’s Union playbook. Heck, I almost suckered for a ticket and bus ride from Amy to the big event in Des Moines tonight.

But this morning Liz blew away all doubt and hit it outa the park with a clear plan for financing Medicare For All, here’s the link so you can read it yourself:  https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/paying-for-m4a?source=soc-WB-ew-fb-rollout-20191101&fbclid=IwAR1RHl67Lo2He5i_FlLSeFVZ2HZy1p3Wri7GQGyvCCXUFly1_MTkmWyOY70

I feared that the Warren plan would rely too much on “wealth taxes”, but that’s a small part of the funding and will only apply to a small enough group of multi millionaires that their assets won’t be hard to track down. I feared that middle class taxpayers would pay more as their medical benefits from work became income and thus taxable, that won’t happen as employers will simply pay those dollars into the Medicare Trust Fund instead of to greedy insurance companies. I feared losing our great union insurance plans, but the’ll have several years to transition in and will get some discounts when they go into Medicare For All that will make unionization an advantage for both employers and workers. And it appears the Warren plan will keep current Medicare, military health care, and numerous other government funded health plans that are working well in place. 

Warren’s Medicare For All plan is the best of any candidate’s, the most fleshed out and the most vetted by academics and actuaries of any candidate’s. Amy, Joe, Pete, and the rest- You got anything better? You don’t, so better get crackin’… Or better yet, sign on to the Warren Medicare For All plan!

So I’m firmly back in the Warren fold, but could the campaign please lose the food fetishes, gender pronoun pressuring, etc.- The place reeks of Ivy League campus!
