That's communism, which is a form of socialism.

No, communists believe in revolution to achieve socialism. Socialists believe in achieving it democratically.

This is the rational used to take personal freedoms from individuals all over the world,

I agree. So why are you against legalizing marijuana, heroin etc.?

We have three alternatives:

1. Let people be poor when they are old.
2. Tax the population to pay those old people.
3. Force people to save for their old age.

Which is least bad, assuming that as we can observe many people otherwise seem to save too little? Society doesn't seem to agree to 1. in most of these countries.

When you spend your money you have weighed the cost as well as the price.

I don't understand where you are going here. Zero price health care is inefficient. Australia tries to use a mix of private and public which seems to work better than the extremes seen in the US or in the most public oriented systems. Britain's problem is spending too little of GDP on healthcare.
