Does Warren's Plan To Pay For 'Medicare For All' Help Or Hurt Her Presidential Run?
ResumeWe've been hearing a lot about Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Medicare for All plan, and on Friday, she finally unveiled how she would pay for it: higher taxes on billionaires and big corporations, which she says will generate trillions of dollars in revenue.
It's an ambitious endeavor — so ambitious that "Saturday Night Live" couldn't resist making a joke out of it.
So now that we've seen the numbers, does it help or hurt her case?
