The article talks about that. The $30 trillion hole is after her existing tax increases are accounted for.

but before the $30 trillion we currently pay for healthcare as a nation

i dont know why she's so afraid to say it: the main part of the solution is "stop subsidizing employer healthcare plans with tax breaks"

the other part is 'tax people about the same as they currently pay for their insurance after their employer's subsidy'
which probably amounts to a doubling of the payroll tax with no income cap and i think that could be framed in a way that people would understand

net effect would be more like a cost increase for the upper middle class and on rather than "the 1%" but dems are very afraid of targeting the most reliable republican voters for some reason. republicans were not afraid to do the same when they killed the SALT deduction.


Ah, the old "just make everyone pay 50%+ tax rates and we're covered" trick.
