They are exactly the same. Service and products provided by some people
to other people. Always, and I repeat *ALWAYS* works better in private
industry than government.

No it can't. Why? Because the very core of Socialism is to ignore the
basics of human nature. It is also based on providing today's needs
while ignoring tomorrow's.

Every where that it's been tried for an extended period of time it has
either failed or is failing. Long lines in the UK. Approaching
bankruptcy in Sweden. Long lines, no innovation and doctors leaving
Canada in droves.

None of this seems relevant to the concept of socialized medicine.

Especially when propped up with huge amounts of public funds, like
Americas health system.

Look at any instance of stalinist communism, and the quality of food
that is/was available.
