Chew on this,
Since the new health care plan requires citizens to give to private insurances companies for private insurance. And more people who would get free health care in the emergency room will now pay more out of their own pocket upfront (that the insured who now pay for their visits), it's hard to argue the health care bill is socialism. And many of the parts of the new plans are actually ideas developed by the American Enterprise Institute, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney who seem to not want to be near them since they are adopted by Democrats and the Obama Administration.
Instead I get the feeling the "pop" definition of Socialism = legislation that the Obama Administration proposes. Though not correct, much easier to fear that way.
The world "socialism" gets thrown around lately. Often by people who don't know what it is.
The real definition of socialism. When government controls private industry's means of production and prices with a focus on wealth distribution towards the workers and lower income.
