Please list out the elements that you think are socialist and that also are different from what we have today We are nationalizing a the health insurance industry, at least a good chunk of it. Nationalizing industry is a fundamental element of socialism. We are mandating that people have insurance, establishing health care as part of the commons. We are changing the nature of insurance, obviating the fundamental concept of insurance, which is underwriting.
