<<<"Socialized" is simply the honest and correct word for the Canadian system. I don't see how anyone could disagree with that. It's not an epithet. It's an economic approach. If it scares people, either they don't know what it means or they do know what it means and find that scary.>>> Socialized medicine is a term used primarily in the United States to refer to certain kinds of publicly-funded health care.[1] The term is used most frequently, and often pejoratively, in the U.S. political debate concerning health care. 'Socialism' means a system of government where the means of production and distribution of wealth are owned by the state and 'socialist' refers to this policy. How is having a national system of healthcare, running together with private medicine,a defining mark of a 'socialist country' if having a national system of education running together with private education, as in the USA, is not?
