[QUOTE="Fred's Myth, post: 5733767, member: 55587"] No, Medicare is not socialized medicine. Socialized medicine is when the government pays for health care and operates the hospitals. In Medicare, the government pays for doctors and hospitals, but does not own or employ them. Medicare is a publicly funded health care program that ensures a universal right to health care for people age 65 and older. It was enacted in 1965 through the Social Security Act. Medicare is not the only example of publicly funded health care in the United States. Other examples include: Medicaid, Veteran's Affairs. [B]The Veterans Administration (VA) system is an example of socialized medicine in the United States.
