In place of private health insurance, Democrats such as Warren and Sanders plan to introduce a government single-payer system. The costs would be staggering – over $30 Trillion in the first decade, by some estimates.

Under the Green New Deal, the government would control over half the economy, and would result in the biggest single government expansion the United States has seen since the 1930s.

Democrats propose expensive subsidies, tax breaks, direct spending, loan forgiveness, and other giveaways, insisting that these proposals can be funded largely by increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

Biden wants to double the capital gains tax; Warren would almost double the top marginal income-tax rate from 37% to 70%, and both she and Sanders favor new wealth taxes.
