OK. I can answer only in this way. Romneycare is no more a form of socialism, than it is is a form of socialism that my state requires me to have automobile insurance. It is basically the same concept.

Or “no less a form of socialism”? Enough arguments have been made that connect compulsory automobile insurance and socialism.

Sorry, but as Uncle Miltie pointed out to you up-thread, there is a HUGE difference between something that is optional like Auto Insurance and something that deals with your very existence, your health.
You are parrotting the Progressive Liberal Mitt Romney's lies he used to support the steaming pile of Socialist crap called RomneyCare.
Requiring me to purchase Health Insurance, or even Auto Insurance is an unacceptable form of Statist Governance for any conservative.
Requiring me to Purchase Health Insurance at an increased cost(Under threat of fine, and possibly imprisonment) so that I can subsidize (Pay For) the Health Insurance of someone else, is nothing but unmitigated Socialism.
There should be no excuse, or support for, this type of Socialist garbage from any conservative.

Apples and kumquats comparison...
Auto insurance is optional, based on whether or not you choose to operate a motor vehicle. There is no law MANDATING that you MUST operate a motor vehicle, thus requiring vehicle insurance.
Health insurance has been deemed compulsory, mandatory simply for existing in these United States of America.

I don’t have auto insurance. I have no car.
Should I be shot by the fascist thugs because I am not paying in?
ObamaCare and RomneyCare are not about getting people insured, you might have noticed that premiums skyrocketed - this is because it is a wealth redistribution scheme and some people will be paying the premiums for others.
This is socialism. Even if it is done at a state level.
