Senator Sanders wrote the damn Medicare for all bill, and it’s very detailed. Two big things missing, though:
1. How much doctors and hospitals would get paid.
2. Which taxes would go up to cover everyone and replace all premiums and deductibles.

It may not have worked to her political advantage. But, Senator Warren has been very specific in her Medicare for all plan about how much doctors and hospitals would be paid and which taxes would increase to cover everyone and replace premiums and deductibles.
One of the most important things I’ve learned in health care is that getting specific about the difficult trade-offs rarely makes a health reform plan more popular.
