As a "public service" I am providing three links to articles about Elizabeth Warren's proposal on "Medicare for All". These are not the last words of course, but they show some of the initial reactions to her numbers from sources that neither endorse her numbers nor reject them out of hand.
New York Times (just before Warren's plan was announced)
New York Times (just after Warren's plan was announced)
New American Prospect (just after Warren's plan was announced)
Finally, here is Paul Krugman's take.
Oh, and one other thing: Medicare for Some -- what we have now -- does not even provide 100% coverage for its recipients. Nominally, the coverage is only 80% of costs. That is why so many older folks who are on Medicare also have supplemental plans to pay the remaining 20%.
