I’ve posted this old 1976 Doonesbury before, but it seems especially relevant today.
(Figured I should post something a bit light today after all the heated rhetoric over my previous two Single Payer diaries...)

(For the younger among us: “The Chairman” refers to Chairman Mao Zedong, who founded the People’s Republic of China and ran the Chinese Communist Party for 25 years until he died about four months after this comic strip ran. Don’t let “Chairman” fool you; he was a ruthless dictator who murdered potentially tens of millions of people. The “translator who can understand him” refers to the fact that he was in horrible health, had 3 heart attacks in less than a year and likely had both Parkinson’s and ALS in his last few years alive; his speech was heavily slurred by that point).
