A true 'socialist' plan is 'single payer' like Canada or Netherlands. Cheaper and more effective, but apparently politically impossible in the USA. (Actually there are 4 single payer systems in the US: Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans, and I think Congress' plan. All deliver much more effective results for the money than private)
And yet, despite the fact that our nation has proven it can competently handle single-payer health care for these demographics, we instead instituted a convoluted, confusing pile of shit like the PPACA.
Insane.
