EDIT: and if anyone can explain why forcing doctors and hospitals to provide their services at a loss, is not socialism, then feel free to reply; as that will be assuredly more enlightening than a simple downvote.
> Well that is socialism
As indeed is provision of roads, fire trucks, police, military and so on. For some reason, people rarely call those out
> Being a form of price control, it also happens to not work very well
I think there's a strong strong case that it works very well in every rich country, because they're all doing it to some degree?
> forcing doctors and hospitals to provide their services at a loss
This assume they're not currently making super-normal profit, which I'm far from convinced by.
Personally I would call out. But hey, so what if I did? As you rightly pointed out most people are convinced that they need the govt in their _many_ aspects of their lives. I'm outnumbered by people who think, that they can decide what is good for me as an individual.
There will be a heavy pushback from industry about how that’s socialism, delivered via Fox News and other conservative outlets.
