    YOU don't know socialist medicine is do you.
    The ACA is NOT. If you don't work for a company you can buy Repeat BUY insurance. From private Healthcare companies.

    Try google just once

    Socialized medicine in its strictest sense, is a single-payer government-run and -delivered system. In a socialized medicine model, the government provides all services from your doctors and providers to the hospitals and other facilities, and all payments for those services.

        That would be #1 in Canada's socialist country.

            Hitler was elected, dummy. Do you know why he was elected?



            "It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic socialists, thought so too. The title of National Socialism was not hypocritical. The evidence before 1945 was more private than public, which is perhaps significant in itself. In public Hitler was always anti-Marxist, and in an age in which the Soviet Union was the only socialist state on earth, and with anti-Bolshevism a large part of his popular appeal, he may have been understandably reluctant to speak openly of his sources. His megalomania, in any case, would have prevented him from calling himself anyone's disciple. That led to an odd and paradoxical alliance between modern historians and the mind of a dead dictator. Many recent analysts have fastidiously refused to study the mind of Hitler; and they accept, as unquestioningly as many Nazis did in the 1930s, the slogan "Crusade against Marxism" as a summary of his views. An age in which fascism has become a term of abuse is unlikely to analyse it profoundly."

                  No. it is you who fails history. Hitler was democratically elected. His party, the NAZI party, was also known as the National Socialist Party.

                        Once again you Billy you choose to forge ahead without doing any real research. Bravo!! He actually got elected by inventing an enemy, the Jews, and blaming them for all the countries problems. Sound familiar? Donny boy did the same thing with the Mexicans.

                          They called themselves national socialist because calling yourself the totalitarian party would not likely fly.
