Presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren would partially fund her Medicare for All health care proposal — a key part of her campaign platform — through 401(k) savers, sparking a backlash from both industry trade groups and financial advisers.
Ms. Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts and currently a top contender to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in the 2020 election, proposed a tax on financial transactions to help fund Medicare for All, a plan that aims to provide health insurance for all Americans and eliminate out-of-pocket health care costs.
