Matthews is trying to get her to say what she is acknowledging without saying: Medicare for All means your taxes go up. She won't say it because she knows that's the soundbyte the Republicans would be using for all their ads against her. Matthews knows this, too.
To pretend that the only thing that matters is whether your taxes go up or down may be the laziest, most dishonest talking point politicians use. And they use it in every election, even though after each election, they raise taxes.
Watch Warren refuse the trap. And make the point.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE: Charlie Pierce has a good summary of the night.
