(I'm from Europe) Does the word "socialism" actually mean something different in the US, or is it just an abuse of notation? I see this all the time. I don't see what worker-owned means of production has to do with the efficacy of healthcare.

No, it's just that most people who rail against socialism don't actually know what it means, as you see above.

afaik it's been bastardized into meaning government-run or something like that. Or it's a mixup with socialized healthcare. Wikipedia has more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialized_medicine
