Dean Katherine Baicker Discusses the Costs of Medicare for All for Marginalized Groups

Dean Katherine Baicker was recently featured in Bustle, discussing how current presidential candidates' Medicare for All proposals will affect taxes and medical bills for marginalized groups, the wealthy, and others. The article is focused on how the policies would affect women, the LGBTQ community, and people of color, who may benefit from the proposals as a result of their economic status and medical bills, the article says.

"Baicker says that people's health care costs would go down, 'but their taxes in the aggregate overall would go up,' depending on how much money they make," the article states. "She says some people’s total spending, when you add together premiums and cost-sharing and taxes, would go down, but for other very high-income people, costs would go up."

I dug into how Medicare for All would actually affect taxes, according to @HarrisPolicy's Katherine Baicker, & what it would mean for women & LGBTQ people, according to @TransEquality @NWPF: https://t.co/e8Uti4XM6O
