What is “Medicare for All”?

So Medicare for All costs about the same as all other Federal spending currently, which means a doubling of current revenue to the Feds. That requires doubling ALL Federal taxes. That would be true if the budget were balanced, but since we currently run $1T deficits, doubling both taxes and spending would also double the deficit to $2T.
