What socialist measures are you talking about?

Single-payer, AKA taxpayer funded national health care
five year lock on interest rates

Certainly I can see reasons to oppose that but unfortunately, we
currently pick up the tab for catastrophic illness. Once a person is
too sick to work - after six months of limbo - medicare picks them up.
(Or something like that, if my details are wrong, pls correct them.)
Medicare is funded by tax payer dollars. Is it "socialism"? If so,
should we abolish that program?
