    No. Socialism would take away interest, dividend, pointless competition, determining wages and prices by "supply-and-demand", private ownership of the means of production and profit-chasing

    Medicare is NOT capitalism. Just the opposite.

    Medicare/Medicaid for all is a socialized medicine, and therefore a part of a socialistic takeover. By the way, if you want to see what Socialized Medicine would be like for Americans, simply look at how The Veterans Administration handled healthcare for Veterans. This is exactly the same way Government will administer healthcare for all Americans.

    Also, it was Obama, an extreme leftist Democrat who took $780 Million to help fund the rollout of Obamacare.

    (Those who will give me a "thumbs down" don't have to like my answer, but then for Democrats, especially liberal Democrats, the truth is often hard to accept.)

    You've transposed a couple of words, there. Throwing the sick and injured to the profit wolves while they are captive to a "free market" is what I call "evil capitalism".

    No, socialists are on the left, it's the conservatives/Republicans on the right that want to take away your medicare/social security.
