Elizabeth Warren claims laid off healthcare workers can sell life and auto insurance instead

   Elizabeth Warren supports a Medicare for all plan and would like to see private healthcare insurance fall by the wayside. During the last Democratic primary debate Elizabeth Warren was asked what the price tag for her plan would be. You would thing that she would have been prepared for such an obvious question, but alas she was not and it took her several weeks before she came out with the cost.

  Something many people might not have thought about who support Elizabeth Warren’s Medicare for all plan is the impact on people and their families who are going to lose their jobs when private healthcare insurance is eliminated. Elizabeth Warren was asked about this over the weekend and–much like when she was asked about the cost during the debate–she did not really have an answer. Here is what she came up with on the spur of the moment:

“No one gets left behind.”

She then added, “Some of the people currently working in health insurance will work in other parts of insurance. In life insurance, in auto insurance, in car insurance.”

  They can just sell different types of insurance because, you know, insurance is insurance, what’s the dif? Also what makes her think all these jobs are suddenly going to  open up in the life and car insurance industry to support the sudden influx of displaced healthcare insurance workers?

  You would think that if somebody was going to propose a major overhaul like this they would have done enough research to at least answer a couple of basic questions but she probably thought nobody would question her on it.
