I'm not quite sure what this has to do with the topic in question--universal health care doesn't have anything to do with socialism.

You are serious? It has nothing to do with socialism? That's entirely the purpose.

Can we define our terms? Do you consider Social Security and/or progressive taxation socialistic?

Obviously.

I guess if you consider universal health care "socialism" and therefore something to be avoided entirely then you're not really interested in discussing it at all, really.

If you are, maybe you could respond to some of the other points in my post, which, by the way, happen to be given after the first sentence.

Of course, you might want to get hung up on whether universal healthcare is socialism or not, which I think is a separate debate.
