Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., released her much-anticipated plan to pay for “Medicare for All,” a massive expansion of the federal government’s current role in health care to establish a single-payer health care system.
Her program would continue state and local payments to Medicaid, the federal-state health care insurance program that helps pay for health care for low-income people of any age , contributing about $6 trillion towards the establishment of Medicare for All.
Warren says the funding for the program will mostly come from a combination of tax hikes on corporations and the top 1%, as well as a shift in employer health spending.
