When it is administered by the government instead of the employer.

That's an easy one, and I'm not even an RWN.

As soon as you start forcing people to participate.

so a completely acceptable alternative to socialized medicine at a large scale is socialized medicine at a small scale and socialized medicine to pay for the ER visits of people without socialized medicine?

Because then people could quit their jerbs if they really didn't want health care. Or something.

Just make whatever program you want and let people opt out of it and do their own thing.

Why are socialists only happy when they get to force stuff on everyone else?

how does it make sense to opt out when someone still has to pay the bill? why wouldn't everyone opt out and just let the magical money fairy pay the hospitals?

Pay what bill? If you opt out you pay for your own or you get your own insurance.
