Former Vice President Joe Bidens campaign is attacking Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for saying he does not need to release details on how to pay for "Medicare for All" right away, part of an escalating battle over the issue in the Democratic presidential primary.
Its alarming that Senator Sanders, who has been up-front for years that Medicare for All would require middle class tax hikes, wont tell voters 'right now' how much more they will pay in taxes because of his plan, Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in a statement. If not now, then when?
She was responding to Sanderss comments to CNBC, in an interview published Tuesday, when Sanders downplayed the need to release details on how to pay for his signature health care policy.
Youre asking me to come up with an exact detailed plan of how every American how much youre going to pay more in taxes, how much Im going to pay, Sanders said. I dont think I have to do that right now.
