The Blaze

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) finally released a plan detailing how she would pay for Medicare for All if she is elected president, and it predictably includes shockingly high costs and significant additional taxes.

Warren released the plan in a post on the blogging website Medium, responding to growing criticism about how vague she has been on the topic of paying for a single-payer health care system — especially without raising taxes on the middle class, as she has claimed.

She is still sticking to the claim that middle class taxes won't go up, but her plan boasts a total cost of $52 trillion over 10 years, which she says can be covered by trillions in additional spending, more taxes on the wealthy and corporations, and reallocation of current government spending.

Warren says the current health care system will cost $52 trillion over 10 years anyway, so she's not proposing a system that will cost much less — she's proposing a system that will funnel the money to the federal government instead of private insurance companies.

In Warren's words, "the debate isn't really about whether the United States should pay more or less. It's about who should pay."
