Warren admits medicare for all will cost 2million jobs...

[petegz28]

I guess she is admitting she will whack 2 million jobs plus she has no idea how to pay for this plan at all.

She says the rich and corporations which means the middle class will be destroyed.

Big Pharma is the enemy.

Actually that’s not true. Do the research on total cost for HC and see the % that is pharmacy

I disagree with this statement.

In a vacuum, maybe. But that space will quickly be filled. By the government. We know what that means relative to cost efficiency.

Warren releases 'Medicare for All' plan with no tax hike on middle class

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Friday released a new plan laying out how she would pay for her "Medicare for All" proposal that would not directly raise taxes on the middle class, responding to pressure and criticism from other Democrats in the presidential race.


The plan is a shift from Warren's progressive rival in the 2020 primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who has said tax hikes on the middle class will be necessary to help pay for Medicare for All.

"We don't need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny to finance Medicare for All," Warren wrote in a Medium post published Friday. The senator instead recommended new taxes on the rich, corporations and employers, as well as cuts to defense spending.

Here's some highlights:

Warren estimates the plan needs $20.5 trillion in new federal spending over a decade.
Employers would have to pay what is being described by some as a payroll tax, equal to 98 percent of what they spend now on health care for their workers. She estimates this would generate $8.8 trillion over ten years.
A corporate tax rate increase would generate $2.9 trillion while a capital gains tax on the top 1 percent of earners would raise $2 trillion, both over ten years.
She would cut payments to hospitals, saving $600 billion over 10 years. She also assumes aggressive discounts on branded and generic prescription drugs that would save $1.7 trillion over ten years.

Um, her plan doesn’t seem to add up to anything near $20T? Maybe I’m just buzzed, but I get around $15.5T? Are we using magic money? Canadian money? Shekels?

They should probably just learn to code.

Apple and Amazon are starting to get into healthcare. I would much rather trust them than the ****ing government.
