Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Tuesday night would not say if taxes for middle-class Americans in order to pay for Medicare for all plans, but Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said it is "appropriate" to acknowledge taxes will go up.
"They're gonna up significantly for the wealthy and for virtually everybody," Sanders insisted. "The tax increase will be substantially less than what they were paying for premiums and out-of-pocket expenses."
Warren, however, insisted she has committed to cut costs for working families, but Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., added \she appreciates Sanders' statement.
"At least Bernie's being honest here and saying how he's going to pay [for] this," she said. "I think we owe it to the American people to tell them where we will send the invoice."
