We Already have a Socialistic Health-Care System

 We say we do not want a socialistic health-care system. Well, we should mind how we already have one.
  Insurance is a form of socialism. If your bill is $100,000, and you cannot afford it, it is the socialism aspect of insurance that gets you off the hook. Others have been placing money into the common pot, as well, (shall we call it communalism?), and you can draw off their entries. What you cannot pay for, gets paid for by others. Isn't that socialism?
   It is because the capitalistic system was not working that we went to socialism. The cost of care had expanded beyond the ability of the individual to pay. So, as the individual could not pay his (or her) own way, we sought to pool everyone together, making everyone pay equal while those who could not afford the whole bill could get others to help them.
   Thus, we have socialism because capitalism was not working. This should not go unnoticed on us.
