The way that Warren gets to $20.5 trillion is a lot of stuff that’s in line w/ her existing “rich people and corporations need to pay more” message. Eg. her wealth tax is amended so anyone w/ $1 billion+ wealth now pays 6 cents, not 3 cents, per dollar for all wealth above $1B — PolitiTweet.org

Super noteworthy: Warren also announced she’ll put out another plan in the coming weeks on how to *transition* to Medicare for All. This of course means there’s room for her to propose something different than Sanders’ four-year transition https://t.co/bCukbpKHlw — PolitiTweet.org

Warren's Medicare for All price tag: $20.5 trillion of new federal spending over 10 years. All of the details on how she proposes paying for it here, with @Luhby @GregJKrieg @leylasantiago https://t.co/bCukbpKHlw — PolitiTweet.org

Warren has fielded ton of criticism for not having a plan to pay for Medicare for All. In a Medium post, Warren writes that Sanders' bill “does not directly incorporate specific revenue measure,” and that she wants to "fight misinformation" with this plan. https://t.co/bCukbpKHlw — PolitiTweet.org

New: Elizabeth Warren has released her plan to pay for Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All. The question she's been asked over and over: Will you raise middle class taxes to fund M4A? Today, Warren finally says no: Not "one penny." https://t.co/bCukbpKHlw — PolitiTweet.org

Just asked Elizabeth Warren here in Durham whether 1. She has consulted with Bernie Sanders recently on how to pay for Medicare for All and 2. If she eventually will, once her plan is out. Her two-word response: "Of course." — PolitiTweet.org

Interestingly, Warren pivots to general election. Says that there's a debate among Dems right now on health care but that ultimately, "we will be running in a general election against the Republicans who have already taken away millions of people's health care." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Warren says "everybody who's running for president knows: there's millions of people across this country... who's getting crushed" by medical expenses. Says Medicare for All "is the least expensive way" to fix the system. Says she's "all in" on M4A. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Warren starts by describing a conversation she said she had with a couple recently, who told her that they had great health insurance until the moment the woman developed a life-threatening condition, when the insurance company wouldn't pay for what she needed. — PolitiTweet.org

The last audience question is from a woman who says she's here to hear more of the "specifics" of Warren's health care position. "Good!" Warren says. — PolitiTweet.org

Second Q is from this math teacher, who says he's had to do active shooter training with his students (murmurs break out across the room when he says this). He wants to know Warren's position on gun control and on getting rid of the filibuster. https://t.co/3uzgjHK6me — PolitiTweet.org

Warren says it's important to keep raising the issue at the federal and state level. She also stresses that there should be a "paper ballot to back up every single vote." — PolitiTweet.org

First audience Q is from a woman says after what happened in 2016, "How do we keep the Russians out of the elections?" — PolitiTweet.org

Warren tells the crowd here that yesterday she met two girls in Laconia, NH, who said they are going to be “two cents” for Halloween 🎃 https://t.co/cutJ5c6PUI — PolitiTweet.org
