1 claim

  1. Campaigned on Medicare for All — a federally-administered single-payer health insurance program estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to require tens of trillions in new federal spending over a decade, necessitating massive tax increases or unprecedented deficit financing. Her support for this open-ended federal healthcare entitlement directly conflicts with the rubric's anti-deficit, balanced-budget standard.
