MODERATORS
calling it socialism is correct, they just fail to realize that's what good governments do
A public marketplace for private insurance is not socialism. It is strictly neoliberal.
Not really? Its a marketplace and some regulations on how insurance companies can conduct business. It doesnt really have anything to do with having the common people have economic control
Socialism isn't "government does thing". It's when large groups of people get together and tell the institutions "you're going to do what's best for us, and not what's best for the .001% at the top". This goes for interacting with the government, too.
There are effects of this that can be felt, like "socialized medicine" or other public services... but they are not what socialism is, just what socialism does.
Socialism is when the government forces you to buy a product from a private company.
