> socialized medicine

When you put this word here, they succeeded. Socilized has a special meaning here, and it's installed through near 5 decades of propaganda (number could be wrong, you get the idea).

WHY pooling the society's resource for health care is "socialized"?!

WHY WHY WHY WHY...

When anyone examine this idea, everything falls apart. WHY? I don't know, and I will surprised anyone knows.

Because it is pooling some of societies wealth into the government to distribute as a good.

The only difference between this and full socialism is that this does not extend to the entire economy.

Also, keep in mind that a self proclaimed socialist is currently the most popular politician in the US.

Because that's what the word means.
