Elizabeth Warren has committed herself to a huge, government-run health plan that would eliminate private insurance, even though voters don’t like the cost or the tradeoffs. But the presidential contender has now rolled out a “transition” to ‘Medicare for all’ that would be less disruptive and more palatable to voters.
The Biden and Buttigieg campaigns both blasted Warren’s pivot to a transition plan, charging her with trying to obscure her desire to dismantle private insurance. The Biden campaign called it “a full program of flips and twists.” That’s a preview of how Warren’s opponents will attack her evolution on health care—and also a sign they may view the change as a new threat.
Warren now acknowledges that drawback, too. She says her transition plan would pay doctors and other caregivers more than Medicare rates, to prevent an exodus of caregivers finding their paychecks slashed under a full government plan.
