What is socialism? Just look at the NHS

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : I would prefer it if Labour, rather than tinkering at the edges, had the courage to tackle head-on this systematic corruption of our society and bring the public schools into the state system.
55% : The NHS is essentially a system of mutual medical aid with state funding, paid for by income tax - the more you earn, the more you contribute - which means it is firmly rooted in the socialist principle "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".
48% : As a consequence of this money-led selection system, the public schools have been able to foist on to the nation the litany of egotistical "mediocracies" that have governed us over the last 14 years.
39% : Let's apply its principles elsewhere I agree with Will Hutton that the essence of socialism is fellowship, and it's easy to show what that can mean in practice ("Socialism isn't a dirty word.
35% : It says: "There is one pressing issue affecting millions of people that has been conspicuous in its absence from the general election campaign so far", ignoring the fact that Davey has sometimes been criticised for going on about social care almost to the exclusion of everything else.
