Socialized medicine is great if everyone is contributing. When you have a sizeable segment of the population getting benefits but not contributing the rest have to pay more.
There's also the bigger problem of cost, at least in the US. The cost of care is through the roof and so far nothing at all has been done to address it. You can try to force every citizen to purchase health insurance (which I still say is unconstitutional) but all that does is benefit the insurance companies. It does nothing to address the cost of care. Too much profit at stake.
