Health care fight among 2020 Democrats shifts to taxes
Health care fight among 2020 Democrats shifts to taxes-thehill:
Taxes are playing a leading role in the health care debate that’s dividing the
field of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. Centrist candidates are criticizing their
opponents on the left who support the single-payer proposal known as “Medicare
for All” by arguing that it is too expensive and would require tax hikes for
the middle class. Progressives counter
that Americans will be better off overall under their plan because the amount
households spend on health care will go down, even if their taxes go up.
