Tax Policy Center on Elizabeth Warren’s health care financing plan: “She has come up with a clever way to make workers indirectly pay for a share of that single-payer government system while making it look like a new tax on employers.”

This gets dicey because the ~$9T Warren raises from employers is already being paid by workers. She’s essentially redirecting the same money away from private insurers and into Medicare in order to move those workers into the program.
Put another way: ACA requires large employers to give workers health care. Warren eliminates that private coverage and taxes that same money to finance Medicare For All.

Biden labels this a middle-class tax hike; Warren says there’s no added burden on the middle class.
