I wanted to bring up how most of the socialist economies you mentioned were subverted by capitalist country intervention during the red scare and 1)

I’d gladly pay an extra 5% in federal taxes for Medicare for all. Cheaper than the current system. Majority would save money.

Helps that we provide for the majority of their defense. Lot of money to spare

they also have that luxury because we provide them with global protection.

Yeah, the technical definition and colloquial understanding of socialism are drastically different

The problem with universal healthcare is I don’t want to pay for the healthcare of some McDonald’s eating smoker or drug addict

Universal healthcare should be guaranteed. Healthcare as well as education should not be ran like big business.

the difference is simply that they put the working class money into taking care of the citizenry, not on military and occupation.

Sweden has a very limited healthcare system. They only have 10 ICU beds per 100k people. Also, smaller # of hospital rooms and services.

It’s difficult to argue that socialism failed of its own right. Any time it was tried, the US undermined and interfered with it.

I think you’re conflating socialism with communism. When most people say socialism, they’re not using your specific definition.

But by your own admission that wasnt socialism though. Do the workers own the means of production (MOP) in any of the countries mentioned?

I agree that social services don't make them socialist, but I think an element of socialism they use is the control unions have, they a lot of power

I think Germany's healthcare system would actually work pretty well in the US.

when capitalism is supplemented with government services, it is a mixed economy, not wholly capitalist or socialist but a hybrid

Do Americans not understand that you could pay your taxes, and take the same amount from your income and place it in a savings account? That becomes

I always thought that communism was public ownership of MOP, and socialism was wealth redistribution

As someone who experienced European universal healthcare, I prefer the American system. Not perfect, but leagues better.

My employer funds my healthcare plan. Socialized medicine would just force me to pay for something I already get for free.

The people are the “owners” of the government, so any expansion of gov into industry can be thought of as socialism. Terms evolve over time

Other countries provide higher quality care than the US, in a manner similar to the VA, and it costs their citizens less than what we pay.

if the state owns the production of healthcare then that's socialist. Socialism doesn't work because of the calculation problem.
