Here are some of the methods Warren's campaign outlines to cover the plan's costs, in terms of both reducing spending and raising money:

• A new employer Medicare contribution to raise $8.8 trillion, which the campaign says would save companies $200 billion relative to what they would have shelled out under the current system
• Cutting administrative costs by scrapping private insurers
• Negotiations to reduce drug spending
• Better enforcement of existing tax laws to raise $2.3 trillion more in revenue
• Taxes on "the financial sector, large corporations and the top 1% of individuals." Changes in taxes on the investing community and large companies could raise an estimated $3.8 trillion, according to Warren's campaign.
• Warren appeared to take her proposed wealth tax further under the health care plan, saying wealth over $1 billion would be taxed at 6% rather than the currently proposed 3%. The change would raise an additional $1 trillion, the campaign said. Overall, Warren's campaign estimates that it can take in $3 trillion for the health care plan by "asking the top 1% of households in America to pay a little more."
• $400 billion more in tax revenue through immigration reform
• Eliminating the Overseas Contingency Operations military fund to save about $800 billion over a decade

"Better enforcement of existing tax laws to raise $2.3 trillion more in revenue"

IF that were possible why aren't we doing it now? Maybe we'll also discover some magic beans that grow money trees.

"Cutting administrative costs by scrapping private insurers"

How does replacing private insurers with public insurers reduce administrative costs? Experience shows they would increase.

That’s easy, you just change the definition of ‘middle class’ to any family of 4 that has income under 30k. That way everyone with a job pays for it and she didn’t raise the taxes on the middle class.

$400 billion more in tax revenue through immigration reform

I was thinking that if we pay for healthcare for everybody in the world that would cost more.

An annual 6% “wealth tax” is not only impractical, it is unconstitutional.

How many years will some of the folks endure a 10% reduction in their wealth (the tax less a general liquidity cost) until someone moves their assets underground or overseas?
