We actually do. Half of Americans are on some sort of socialized medicine, from CHAMPUS/CHAMPVA (veterans and soldiers) to Medicare/Medicaid (poor people and old people). The other half have to take part in the monoply scheme of private health insurance where hospitals are for some reason permitted to bill $8 for a 50-cent alcohol wipe but any attempt to regulate that monopoly is considered "communism" by half the country.

What's interesting is the half of the healthcare economy which is socialized is run exactly the same way the French system is: the government just audits costs and doesn't actually own or operate much of the healthcare apparatus. The obvious solution then is to simply expand Medicaid to anyone who prefers it over their private insurance, but this enrages the Jew and the libertarian retard who doesn't understand reality or economics. The net result is the Jew will be forced to compete for your insurance premiums and it cannot stand the thought of a market economy.
