Dem House Candidate Won’t Say How He’d Fund $32 Trillion ‘Medicare for All’ Plan

Jeff Beals, a Democratic candidate in New York's 19th congressional district, on Monday gave a strange response to incumbent Rep. John Faso's (R., N.Y.) question on how he would raise $32 trillion to fund a "Medicare for All" health-care plan.

Faso on Friday tweeted that Beals' silence on how he would pay for the health-care plan was "deafening," citing a Vox.com study from last year that said the policy would "likely result in the largest tax increase in modern American history."

"[Eleven] days until the #NY19 Primary, & @JeffBealsNY19's silence on how he'd pay for his single payer health care scheme is DEAFENING!" Faso wrote. "Last year, a Vox. com study said Beals' plan would likely result in the largest tax increase in modern American history."
