Socialism doesn't mean things are given out free. Charity is when things are given out for free.
I know of nowhere that there's not some sort of payment for healthcare, be it through Taxpayers, a small Fee, barter, or Charitable giving.

The only organizations more Socialist than the Military are Co-Ops and Congress.
At least in the Military, it's a Hierarchal Socialist Meritocracy.

From Each According to their Skills, To Each According to their Needs....

That's Socialism, my friends.
