"Socialized" means that society pays; it's a system based on

Although, oddly enough, its application is highly selective. Even
though society pays (and payment is enforced), we'd be hard-pressed
to find anyone ranting about socialised domestic security and crime
deterrent (police), socialised national self-defence (armed forces)
or socialised personal transport (roads).

These are proper applications of taxpayer money. These are large-scale
infrastructure items that benefit the nation as a whole. Medical care
is a personal, individual item. The State is not responsible for my
doctor visits, my house or my food.

What is the criteria again that makes some infrastructure projects good
and others evil?
