Nov 2019

Yesterday on MSNBC Steve Kornacki came on, substituting for Brian Williams, and in his show opening rundown of topics to be covered he said something like "...and coming up, the hefty price tag on Elizabeth Warren's health plan". I didn't stick around but chances are this was a misdirection emphasizing the cost but not the benefits, or the overall lower cost and savings.

That's how MSNBC, let alone other corporate media outlets, will attempt to poison the minds of the average "Murican against her.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

I would tend to agree, but then who is she talking about? redqueen Nov 2019 #4

She is defending the principles underlying her health care plan crazytown Nov 2019 #5

But she didn't say 'if anyone disagrees, they're agreeing with republicans', redqueen Nov 2019 #6

The criteria Warren laid out doesn't fit Biden or Buttigieg, or even Delaney crazytown Nov 2019 #8

That's true, the things she said don't describe anyone's position, redqueen Nov 2019 #10

I think this is the first answer Warren has given to the question. crazytown Nov 2019 #11

I am not sure the overall cost can be determined at the moment...and it will be expensive. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #40
