I'd like to know why all the people who claim the free market = awesome, and health care/public option (worst name EVER) = socialism aren't loudly campaigning for the abolishion of medicare and social security?

The free market is really good at some things, but it's absolutely TERRIBLE at resolving situations which have concentrated benefits and widely dispersed costs. (examples: commercial gill net fishing, power plants which pollute, or uninsured folks using the emergency room)...
