Jared Golden wants “big tax increases.”

October 16, 2019

Jared Golden wants Medicare-for-all to be the “destination” for Democrats’ socialist health care plans, and that’s bad news for Maine residents.

Here is what policy experts and economists think Golden’s government-run health care plan will mean for Mainers:

  • “Most of the proposals to move to Medicare-for-all would involve substantial tax increases that would affect most people. These are going to be big tax increases.”
  • “There’s no question it hits the middle class.”
  • “This has to hit the middle class.”
  • “71 percent of those with private insurance would pay more in new taxes than they would save by having health insurance covered by the federal government.”
