Elizabeth Warren's fortunes in the Democratic primary race have been headed in the wrong direction for over a month now. In what seems to be an unannounced strategy to revive her moribund campaign, Warren has largely abandoned speaking about the policy proposal central to her rise to the top tier: "Medicare for All."
DES MOINES — In warm-up remarks introducing Senator Elizabeth Warren at campaign rallies, young volunteers often say they are supporting her because of her plan to transform the health care system through a single-payer “Medicare for all” program. It happened in Des Moines on Saturday and Oklahoma City last week, and in western Iowa cities like Clarinda and Council Bluffs on Sunday.
But Ms. Warren herself is barely speaking of the proposal. After months of attacks from other candidates, and questions and some blowback from both liberals and moderates, the most ambitious and expensive of Ms. Warren’s many plans — and the one most likely to transform the lives of voters — is just a passing mention in her standard stump speech, rarely explored in depth unless a questioner brings it up.
Warren's health care boondoggle is problematic, to be sure. She didn't really get into specifics about how she would pay for it all during her ascent in the polls. When she did finally yield to pressure to provide specifics, all she had to offer was the boilerplate progressive "tax the rich" nonsense. That math never works out the way the progs want it to, however.

The problem isn’t with “free” health care. Its how to pay for it.
Santa Claus is fun... until you learn he’s a Grinch.
From the article: “Warren’s “Medicare for All” is a socialist shift that makes Obamacare look positively libertarian. It would be an understatement to say that she may have overreached with this one. The public didn’t like what she was selling, so she’s now pretending that she isn’t really selling it.”
Just wait till she’s elected, she’ll push it then.
RE: Just wait till she’s elected, she’ll push it then.
You hit the nail on the head my friend.
Democrats have a habit of laying low and pretending not to be radical and then after being elected, suddenly have a “change of heart”.
Example — Obama and Clinton were against gay marriage, then, after being elected — you know what happened.
You can’t get enough revenue from just taxing the rich. If that was all it took, everyone would get behind it.
There’s no way we can afford MFA unless we take a giant wrecking ball to the economy.
This is where voters draw the line.
Princess Rotted Beaver is an insane, pathological liar.
Yup. I don’t want Squaw anywhere near the White House.
“Free” anything is very simple—get some other sucker to pay for it.
Politics has become a long con.
Replaced with “pemmican for all!”
"Ya know what my 'save the Earth' policy is going to be? Nothing! At the next debate, I plan to sing 'ho, ho, ho, Green Giant' just to troll Psycho and Bernout."
How many millionaires in Congress?
And they are going to tax the rich?!?!
It is to laugh.
