Socialism: n. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.

I pay money from my income into a trust fund for forty years and receive nothing in return. At age sixty five I begin drawing on that money to receive medical care provided by privately owned hospitals and doctors in private practice. Where, precisely, is the communal ownership in that?
