The Affordable Care Act is Not Socialism

"Greg Pason, the national secretary of the Socialist Party USA said in a recent interview: 'The ACA program relies on private health insurance companies to manage health services,' Pason said. 'A socialized system would not include ‘health insurance,’ but would be an actual national health-care system which would be publicly funded through progressive taxation and controlled by democratically elected assemblies of health-care workers and patients.'
 
This is an actual socialist, commenting on the ACA. Not a capitalist trying to sell it off as socialism, but an actual socialist, who believes in socialist ideals, laying it out plain and simple."
