A lot of people, Mary, people on this thread and prominent spokespersons favor a Federal, taxpayer-funded, universal health care program, aka socialized medicine.

The counter argument you usually get is that they want medicine to be provided the same way it is now, but the feds should pay for it, and since many medical providers are private they say that's not socialized? Well maybe you don't have "socialized medicine", but you at least have socialized medical insurance.

Kind of like the distinction between giving everyone food stamps vs. replacing all restaurants, grocery stores, snack bars, food vending machines etc. with government food distribution centers.
