On today's 'BradCast':  Sen. Elizabeth Warren finally released her detailed proposal on how she plans to pay for "Medicare for All" with "not one penny in middle-class tax increases." Health care reporter ALICE OLLSTEIN of Politico breaks down Warren's newly-introduced plan and the multiple mechanisms she outlines for funding it.
