She's a democrat. She will raise taxes.

Why else would they want to take our guns?

They'll say the debt is too high, so we have to switch to socialism and your income isn't your's anymore. It's the government's.

She needs to divert money currently spent by employees and employers on Private insurance into Medicare

Medicare-For-All Is A Plot To Pillage You

“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free...”

According to a new study by the Urban Institute, M4A will cost $32 trillion over ten years. That’s more than the federal government will be projected to pay over the coming decade for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid combined, according to the most recent Congressional Budget Office projections. You could reduce the damage down to $16 trillion with some cost sharing and limits on benefits. Either way, that’s a lot of money.

Brian Riedl notes recently, one of the ideas floating around is that we simply need to come up with a $35 trillion tax to pay for it all (I am not kidding). He writes, “Proponents [of M4A] assert that the $35 trillion that families and businesses are currently projected to pay over the next decade in health premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, and state taxes to fund Medicaid would all be replaced with a $35 trillion federal ‘single-payer tax….”

No one who supports M4A so far has offered an actual plan for the elusive $35 trillion replacement tax. Riedl writes, “Congressional Budget Office data show that raising $35 trillion would require a payroll tax increase of 39 percentage points, or a value-added tax of 91 percent – an enormous burden even for families no longer paying premiums.”

Elizabeth Warren has vehemently refused to say if the middle class would see its taxes go up to pay for M4A or how she would pay for this. As the Wall Street Journal reported, for instance, during the debate Ms. Warren, the new leader in the polls, was given at least six chances to answer yes or no. She ducked every time. “Will you raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it, yes or no?” asked one of the media questioners.”
