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.
