Health care subsidies and price supports are not socialism.
Rather, they are a necessary intervention in the medical market to assure an abundant and reliable health care supply. Previous experience with laissez-faire health care production has taught us that it is a natural feast or famine cycle. It is in our national interest (as it is for all nations) to bring production stability to this market so that it more closely matches the constant demand for health care.

Your sarcastic substitution of "health care" in the rewording of my reply does not hold up under economic scrutiny.
