Warren’s $52T 'Medicare-for-all' plan revealed: Still claims no middle-class tax hikes needed
MSN News ^ | November 1, 2019 | Brooke Singman, Fox News

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s long-awaited "Medicare-for-all" funding plan projects the government-run health care system would cost a staggering sum of "just under $52 trillion" over the next decade, with the campaign proposing a host of new tax increases to pay for it while still claiming the middle class would not face any additional burden.

“We don’t need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny to finance Medicare for All,” Sen. Warren, D-Mass., said in her plan — a copy of which was obtained by Fox News.

Some of Warren’s rivals for the nomination are unlikely to buy that claim, after having repeatedly challenged her assertions that the middle class would not be hit by tax hikes and suggesting she has not been upfront with voters.

Right. That’s because she is going to pull that money off of the magical Money Tree that grows on the south lawn of our White House.

Ya. Just like Obamacare was supposed to save me $2400 on my health insurance premiums and ended up costing me $10,000 more per year. That is a $12,000 lie.

I am calling bu!!shit.

If you raise taxes on corporations, what will they do? If you say raise prices, you understand how the real world works.

We are living in a political world that now provides lies instead of facts and there is zero accountability, especially from the media and other politicians. The DOJ allows these same politicians to break law after law and spends millions to simply declare everyone does it.

If Trump loses and she won, they’d have to redefine “Middle Class” in order to have one to tax.

She is correct. They have to raise taxes on the middle class by thousands of dollars.

Hiawatha also wants more government money for Democrat agenda government schools. Perversity, abortion and no guilt. The new normal. Boycott government schools until they REPENT!

Psychojawea has a new plan.
She’s not going to pay doctors for working, and she isn’t going to pay pharmaceutical companies for medications dispensed either.

The millenials think she’s brilliant.

No, those aren’t lies, but their ‘truths’. If their truth is that 2+2=5, who do you think you are to contradict them?

As a presidential candidate, Warren makes a good Harvard professor.

(from the article): "Some of Warren’s rivals.. after having repeatedly challenged her assertions that the middle class would not be hit by tax hikes and suggesting she has not been upfront with voters."

Just deja-vu again - another theory promising savings.
Remember the sucker refrain by Nancy :
" You've got to pass it, to find out what's in it "
We've already been fooled once.
Some never learn !

“”she has not been upfront with voters.””

AS IF THEY ARE....She’s probably the only one stupid enough to champion such a thing out loud. Wonder if she ever heard of Walter Mondale? Of course, he promised the reverse of what she’s promising but he still didn’t make it to the WH, did he?

“”Warren makes a good Harvard professor.””

I glanced at that real fast and saw “HARVESTER” - that fits as well...except she peddles the stuff that goes on BEFORE the harvest.
