Canada has a socialist healthcare system. Medical care in Quebec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2jijuj1ysw

The healthcare system that Pres. Trump thinks is so fantastic is the one in Scotland, also socialized medicine. I know a woman who works in that system. She was amazed at how quickly my husband got a CT scan scheduled. "It'd be months, here!" she said. By that time my husband would have been nearly dead. Later she had a medical emergency when her rib cage broke away from her sternum and one of the bones was clearly visible almost poking through the skin. They told her that they'd wait a month to see if the bones went back into place on their own. After the month and no miracle had occurred, they told her it was too late to do anything about it, and that she'd have to just live with it. "Because they get paid either way, so why do anything, right?" "Got it in one!" she said.

And that's the problem with socialized medicine. My husband is now on Medicare, and was forced off the insurance we currently have, even though it would have made a nifty Medicare supplement and we could pay for it. Now he basically gets the same kind of care one would get if they were a veteran, and we all know what a horror show that is.

But now they want us to go to Medicare for all, or some stupid Trumpcare thing -- both of which is socialized medicine. You're probably right about us just kidding ourselves about how much of a free market economy we have. But taking our country to socialized medicine just takes us further down the road to such wonderful economies like Greece. Eventually, as Maggie Thatcher said, we run out of other people's money.
