Warren goes 1 for 2 on Medicare

The revenue ideas are pretty good. The plan is still a problem.

The radical disruption to the health care system — including the forced elimination of private insurance — is the main problem. I was mostly impressed with the detailed plan for financing Medicare for All that Elizabeth Warren released Friday, [as I describe in my latest column](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfoqemP0TvaHR0cHM6Ly9hbHBoYS1wcmV2aWV3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMTEvMDMvb3Bpbmlvbi93YXJyZW4tbWVkaWNhcmUtZm9yLWFsbC0yMDIwLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1kYXZpZC1sZW9uaGFyZHQmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTExMDQ_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTM1OTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xODQ5NyZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJXA255dEIKACSmIsBdcV7qJ1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). I gave it a B- for fiscal conservatism, but an A- on a curve, relative to various proposals from Republicans and other Democrats. And yet I still think Warren has significant work to do to keep Medicare for All from being a political liability. Polls show a consistent pattern in Americans’ views on health care: It is one of people’s top concerns. They want health care to cost less, and they favor a set of progressive policies — like allowing anyone to buy into Medicare and having the federal government force down pharmaceutical prices. But people do not support eliminating all private insurance and requiring everyone to join Medicare. I understand that Medicare for All advocates, like Warren and Bernie Sanders, believe that Americans will like it much better than the status quo once they’ve tried it, because costs will be lower and lack of insurance coverage will be a thing of the past. Yet those advocates can’t simply wish away public opinion. If they try, they’re likely either to lose elections or watch their plans fail in Congress as a result. Warren’s new Medicare plan is a step forward. Her biggest task on this subject — designing a transition plan that voters can accept — is still unfinished.
