*Any *socialist? Most I know don't *favor *that, per se. It would be an improvement over what we have now - just as Obamacare may have been an improvement - but in terms of what we actually want, it's health care in the public domain, not massive public subsidies to private providers. And this isn't exclusively a matter of political principle. Remember that mortality rates are noticeably higher in private hospitals than public ones, regardless of who's paying. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað."
