ck---i would see the nationalisation of the health care system in entirely different terms than you outline above....but i suspect that would carry us straight into a different thread.
i also understand democratic socialism in entirely different terms than you outline..another thread.
the basic dividing line is how you understand what the state does.
you can see it as extending the areas of life that are directly accountable to the public.
but to do that, you'd have to move away from attributing the left critique of state bureaucracy that was distorted and co-opted by the thatcherites and has now leaked into conservative discourse in the us as applying only to the state itself---private firms are bureaucracies as well--and stasticially speaking, the most important fiorms in the states are not small businesses, which tend to be more decentralized as a function of size.
yet another thread.
yikes.
