I don’t know much about the US Socialist Party. Here in Europe AOC would be considered centre/centre-left lmao, it’s so skewed over here to the left. Biden is considered right-wing here
To be fair, I think that if the US implemented some of the things asked by these socialists their movement would die and they would end up absorbed by both major parties.
A healthcare system like Italy's, with both a public option and a private one that compete with each other to keep prices low in the private sector would be affordable and realistic for the US, if the US limited illegal immigration (our healthcare is "free" only if you pay taxes, illegals and tourists have to pay expensive bills to be cured, kinda like in the private sector).
In Italy? I dunno about the US, but In Italy you only pay a minimum percentage of the cost for your medicines or health tratment if you go with the public option, the amount depends on your income, but the time to actually get treated is long, in the private you get very short queues, top tier treatment and the cost is not too expensive precisely because if it costed too much people would tell them fuck off I'll just go with the public option.

Is healthcare actually free if you pay taxes? Sorry, I’m not well up on the US healthcare system.

Yeah it’s kind of the same here in Ireland to be honest
