>>but certainly a single-payer, national health care system (which most Americans oppose) would be good example of socialism.
Don't forget that Europeans may have "free" healthcare but they can't afford new clothes. Must be true, I heard it on Fox. Eww, who'd want that?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
