Sen. Warren Releases Details on Her Medicare for All Plan
---------------------------------------------------------

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren released details of
her Medicare for All plan on Friday. The plan says she would raise
investment gains taxes on the top 1% of American households in order to
help pay for the program, which calls for $20.5 trillion in federal
spending over a decade. She would also levy a 6% annual tax on net worth
above $1 billion and collect about $9 trillion from employers. In
response, presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders called his plan
to fund Medicare for All more progressive and said he worried that
Warren's plan could have a negative impact on job creation.
