And what do you mean by "any known version of socialism"?  What does a known version of socialism look like, in your opinion?  Because to me, it looks like programs to give people money who don't work hard enough to provide for themselves.

Damn those people with debilitating diseases!  They just need to drag their lazy asses off the couch and get to work to pay for their hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical treatment.

No wait... they should have planned better and not gotten sick in the first place!

Damn, those poor people with debilitating diseases. They have to depend on the mercy Big Pharma and stagnant innovation to hopefully receive overpriced treatments provided by the welfare state.


Yes, because if we only got rid of that regulation about the height of door frames, prices on all medication would magically drop to free, doctors would work for the fun of it, and hospitals would take smiles for payment.
