Senator Elizabeth Warren's $20.5 trillion plan to provide healthcare for all Americans was attacked and mocked over the weekend by
Democrats,
Republicans, and "Saturday Night Live," the long-running
New York comedy show.
The 20-page "Medicare for All" plan, which Warren's 2020 presidential campaign released on Friday, calls for cuts in defense spending and passing
immigration reform to increase tax revenue from newly legal Americans, two steps that would face an uphill battle in Congress.
It is also funded by cost-cutting, business contributions, and new taxes on Wall Street, big businesses and wealthy individuals, which each carry their own challenges.
