Excerpt

Warren’s plan to finance Medicare-for-all pushes into dangerous and uncharted territory. Lawrence Summers, November 5, 2019, Opinion, "Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren last week mounted a passionate defense of universal government-provided health care and made a detailed case that it can be paid for without burdening the middle class. The vision of Medicare-for-all is immensely attractive and evokes health systems in other countries that perform much better than ours does. I could easily imagine supporting a well-designed Medicare-for-all plan." Link
