Why is socialism so bad?

[JakeMartinez]

One of the main reasons socialized health care will never be fully adopted is because it will lead to a deficient research and development budget. Sad but true, the driving force in global innovation is profit.

I think that's false. Doctors and researches who are actually devoted to their work will still make the progress, and could be paid by the government for their hard work. If profit drove research, we would probably have cures for Diabetes, AIDS, and cancer right now. The problem is that it's much more profitable for these diseases to still be around than it is to cure them.

That's the sad part.
