 Socialized healthcare and The Road To Serfdom - Homeland Stupidity
The basic problem of government healthcare is that no one feels the costs of their actions.

  Publicly-funded health care - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social Security consists of several public organizations, distinct from the state government, with separate budgets that refunds patients for care in both private and public facilities.
Until recently, social security coverage was restricted to those who contributed to social security (generally, workers or retirees), excluding some poor segments of the population; the government of Lionel Jospin put into place the "universal health coverage".
Various healthcare analysts have asserted that market failure occurs in healthcare markets [14], but some have suggested that it is result of too much government involvement rather than too little [15] [16].

 Talk:Publicly-funded health care - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A national health service is a system of healthcare funded by mandatory taxes where every resident person in the country is automatically a member, and healthcare is free at the time of use.
Healthcare system would be a much more neutral ground to contrast the two.
If the point is to let people know that cost-benefit analyses of various healthcare systems are difficult, then that point might be better suited in Healthcare system or Health insurance (where a "debate" between privately funded health insurance and publicly funded health insurance might be on neutral ground).

Universal coverage or single payer system implies the government PAYING for not directly owning, and operating the healthcare system (this is the system found in Canada).
Complete socialized healthcare would mean that the government took the next step and actually owned and operated health care delivery rescources as well as paying health care workers directly who would work for a national agency.
However, few experts would argue that a universal, single payer system is a huge step TOWARDS socialized medicine in that it involves a further increase in governmental involvement in the private sector.

But when healthcare is free at the point of delivery, people want more of it -- which is why you get queues for minor conditions that, in a private system such as the US one, many people would grit their teeth and live with.
Calling attention to the "rationing" of healthcare in the US is appropriate because it uses the same definition for rationing as the conservative critics of single payor or nationalized healthcare systems.

 HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE - Why Socialized Medicine Does Not Work by Michael Lewis
While the Canadian model is a well-intentioned plan designed to equalize the distribution of healthcare services, it fails to learn from the lessons of government subsidies.
The price of healthcare appears lower in Canada because healthcare costs are not coming directly out of the consumer’s pocket; rather the consumer is paying exorbitant amounts of taxes to the government, which allows the government to pay the providers.
Recognizing the fact that the healthcare system should insure equal access for all, we need to look at real market approaches to solving the problem that do not jeopardize the quality or availability of care.

 Fractured Healthcare | The New American
Most proponents of universal healthcare spout rhetoric that American medicine is too “disease oriented.” This tells you where the emphasis of a new system will lie and where future monies will be spent — on the healthy.
Of course, proponents of universal healthcare aren’t so crass as to admit that they’re against giving care to certain groups of people, but that is how universal healthcare lowers the cost of care.
Because supplying “free” routine healthcare is still a great vote-getter from the healthy population that is worried about paying off emergency trauma care, rather than paying for quality-of-life care (knee and hip replacements).
