    I went line-by-line through @ewarren’s health care plan. I estimate her plan increases the deficit by $15 trillion from 2020-29. She substantially overstates the revenues from her tax hikes & underestimates increases in federal health spending: http://bit.ly/2Cy2iA7  @FREOPP

        Here’s a chart from the @FREOPP paper that summarizes the difference between @ewarren’s estimates of the fiscal impact of her health plan and ours:pic.twitter.com/Ucgq3nBgDr

        As you can see, for this exercise we assumed that @ewarren is able to pass the entire package, as is, despite the political and constitutional hurdles. We focus solely what the *policy effects* of her package will be, as described.

        For example, @SteveRattner has assessed $15.9 trillion of @ewarren’s plan as “unrealistic proposals.” We assume all of those “unrealistic proposals” are enacted, but that they still fall $15 trillion short in funding her health care program.http://bit.ly/33FUU1B

        By the @ewarren campaign’s own estimates, Warren’s health care plan would increase the federal tax burden by 46%. (We estimate that the plan will yield far less in revenues for reasons explained in the @FREOPP paper: http://bit.ly/2Cy2iA7 ).pic.twitter.com/YTOZyxpP5y

        Obama Treasury Secretary @LHSummers makes a strong case that the @ewarren wealth tax will yield 1/8th of what the Warren campaign says it will (we only took Warren's projected wealth tax revenues down by half):https://wapo.st/33GbGOf

        *taps mic* no one cares about deficits, but her plan might be just enough for Republicans to consider caring again.

        That's very charitable of you. They will start caring immediately under the next Democratic administration, regardless of the President's health care plan.

        Typical #DeceiptfulDemocrat day plan. Pass it first and then read what it will cost you after.

        Does she account for the additional millions of new immigrants crossing her open borders for the free health care ride?
