I wish people would stop throwing the word socialism around so casually. Do you consider France a socialist nation? Germany? Canada? Britain?
Don't worry, we aren't going to take your guns, we are just trying to let poor people go to the doctor.
Yes..they are all socialists..we are capitalists that is why we became the richest Country in the world..now...can all of you stop taking all those stupid pills and come back down to earth

Poor people can already go to the Doctor. (thanks to a socialist program we already have in place, called Medicaid)
If it were truly about trying to help people, they wouldn't be trying to ram it through. They would be taking their time making sure things get done to the best of their abilities.
As far as the word socialism itself. It is fitting. The definition of socialism is simply the government owning industry.
This push for government healthcare will give ownership of (at least part ownership) of the healthcare industry.
funny, I was going to say the same thing to you people... you're all on drugs, get a grip.
France has the best healthcare system in the world, I say we do what they do. And I love the terms "we are the richest country in the world". Well how is that working out for us now?? Not very well.

False.
It is only offering a government sponsored healthcare plan.
The ownership of doctor's offices, hospitals, pharmacies, and all other healthcare businesses will not change.
In socialism, government either has a dominate position or owns the entire industry and a public option is not offered.
In this plan, all the public options will still exist.
That isnt socialism.
