<socialized systems> Insurance is socialized risk. The role of government is to make sure that the entire population is included in the risk pool -- to make sure that nobody is excluded for any reason whatsoever. It is the hallmark of modern civilization. That this concept needs to be debated in America is itself a sign of backwardness.

You are mixing the contexts of two posts and treating them as one. The contexts were different and the correlation between them is fairly low, so I am not sure how to answer that question. I'm not sure if one country is more socialized than the other because that isn't my issue. My issue is borrowing and spending trillions of dollars as if it's no big deal, even as revenues are dropping off a cliff. Who is going to pay the bill?
