This clip " Since Ms. Warren made her plan public, analysts have sharpened their pencils and gone to work. Many believe she has underestimated the cost of her program and overestimated the revenue from the measures she would use to pay for it"

No one cared where Trump was getting the money for his tax cuts to the rich or how those numbers were overestimated - no one cares about all the money going to miltary spending that is not paid for

But when it comes to Medicare for All or other heath care programs then the money has to be exactly right down to the last penny.

With that said I do wish that EW would have taking Pete's idea of Medicare for All for those that want it idea. Yes, the end result is Medicare for All but the country is not completely ready. Let the people decide and eventually they will go with the public option and you could move to a Medicare for All program easy when America is ready.

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