Sen. Bernie Sanders, often credited for bringing Medicare for All to the forefront of the 2020 presidential race, defended his way of funding the plan up the against the newly-released outline from his progressive opponent, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, calling his way"far more progressive" and saying that Warren's plan could have a"very negative impact" on job creation.
Of his own plan to fund Medicare for All, Sanders said, “It would raise taxes on the middle class, but it would substantially reduce the cost of health care for the average American. Because we’re doing away with all premiums, copayments, deductibles and out of pocket expenses. So for the overwhelming majority of the American people, they would save and save substantially on their health care bills.
Asked if she believed her plan was more progressive than Sanders, Warren said,"I think it's progressive when not a single person who makes less than a billion dollars has to pay one penny in additional taxes."
Because it is.
He is correct as well, yes.
If Warren wins, employers will use contract workers and fire many longstanding employees as that is their best option. Just like Obamacare, there is a way around funding her plan. I have been a 1099 guy for years but most workers won’t thrive in a “eat what you kill” system.
.... but she's in the lead so she's at the center of the latest democratic circular firing squad.
These plans are lies designed to destroy the best medical Care system in the world. It's another lie that will cost us alit of Money.
TheBirkenhauer His costs $15 trillion more. It BETTER be more progressive!
Elizabeth Warren found out she’s 2% Bernie Sanders
Both liars.. no thanks
Hey liberal fascists! Who is going to pay for these Communist “everything for free” plans? U WILL! Do u even comprehend $90 trillion dollars? Not enough wealth in the entire world to pay for this!
Far more wealth grabbing?
xinlllxin
Elizabeth Warren's plan doesn't raise taxes on working class families. His plan does. The only difference in their plans are the revenue streams. Both bills are amazing but I think her bill is more politically feasible because their is no tax hike on the middle class.
Bernie's plan has more taxes, so it's more progressive ! LOL
The top D candidates are trying to outdo each others' give-away trillion dollar schemes. This election is the Ds to lose and I feel it slipping away. With these platforms, an impeached trump will get re-elected. We need strong candidates with more sensible platforms. MSNBC CNN
Oooo wow, can someone explain where the money will come from? Asking for a friend
The race to be the most radical.
Bernie has best plan no half steppin, we need to prove progressives can save money and get more done. Cant lose for winning progressives are better educated period
Good maybe the far left can start going after each other and stop calling pragmatic Dems wet blankets and Republicans.
I think this is a grave, likely fatal miscalculation on Bernie's end. Warren's plan is appraised by practically every economist as legitimate. He should've just adopted her funding scheme outright
I respect Bernie so much for being honest about this.
Over the Cliff economics , with a Trillion Dollar Money Orchard that does not exist.
Their plans cover the same number of Americans (everyone). The same way. They are arguing about how to tax businesses to pay for it. It's a silly thing to be arguing about.
Battling to be named top idiot
Gotta love these two losers fighting over something that should and will never happen. What a colossal waste of time and other people’s money these two “ campaigns” are.
Duh
That’s so unfair. Liz Warren uses Magic Math. . StopTrump ewarren SenWarren SenSanders BernieSanders
No matter...neither BernieSanders or ewarren will ever be POTUS .....Trump2020LandslideVictory FeelTheBern Warren2020
Both are too extreme for the general anyway. In the end both will raise taxes on everyone to pay for their plans; whether they out right say it (Bernie) or not (Warren). People should have the right to choose their medical plan or jump on a government plan. IJS
Receipt?
My plan is way more progressive
All the insurance in the world won't help if Drs don't care. Slot of them don't. It's like they don't want to be bothered. Especially if you have a chance disease. I bet alot of us can be helped.
Call it a day grandpa
It's just a few trillion. No big deal.
Of course he did. Bernie Sanders connection to reality is about the same as Donnie Trump's.
Neither Sanders or Warren will beat Trump. They're too far left. PeteButtigieg is the Democrat's best hope.
Bernie’s healthcare plan pays you $1000 per month. He effectively took Yang out of the race with his new plan.
Correct. Employers shouldn't be involved in insurance.
not a compliment
So basically, Warren & Bernie are fighting over who can bankrupt this nation the fastest, huh.
Well it is, so...
