why hate socialism?

Frankly, I would support a form of "socialism" in the US for the resolution of our heath care system. But, I have a few caveats:

1. First, that the COST of medical treatments and procedures are brought down to something more reasonable than what we see now. Personally, I think the cost of most everything related to health care is WAY out of line. I don't mind paying a higher tax, but I expect that same tax dollar to buy a bit more than it would currently.
2. Secondly, to enjoy a "socialized" health care, one would need to be a citizen of the US. Not a "walk across the border and use the system" alien (from ANY nation).
3. Medical malpractice suits, which have historically driven the cost of health care up, need to have realistic ceilings.
