DES MOINES, Iowa—Sen. Elizabeth Warren says that as president she would tap billionaires and large employers to pay the bulk of $20.5 trillion in new spending over a decade to finance her Medicare for All health-care plan, promising to shield most Americans from higher taxes under the proposal.
“We don’t need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny to finance Medicare for All,” Ms. Warren wrote Friday on the blog site Medium, which came hours ahead of her planned address at a widely watched candidate forum in Iowa.
