So... US tax payers subsidize pharmaceutical research. Pharmaceutical company charges outrageous prices and defends it because they front the cost for development... But tax payer subsidized health care is socialism?

I do alot of work at various universities and some of the work we do is paid with govt research grants. They get billions of dollars for research. So we get to subsidize their research and then we get to pay top dollar for drugs and tech that is produced from that research. Thats how winning is done!
