Don't let anyone tell you that Medicare and Medicaid are too expensive

Here is a chart of the increase in cost of both programs compared to private insurance since 2007

The cost of private insurance has increased far more than either government plan

Both plans are also cheaper in real dollars

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Democrats are about to be more or less forced, by the sheer audacity of Trump's pro-billionaire agenda, into simple, effective, back-to-basics populism. It'll be telling to watch anybody left of center who grasps desperately for an off-ramp to such an obvious path forward.
