Being a communist absolutely makes you an evil person. About 5 times more evil than the group of people they fought against in a war.

As for socialized medicine it makes doctors another arm of the government. In the UK last week (or the week before) one arm of the government ordered another arm of the government to kill a 9 year old. We are also just outside a 2 year stretch of tyranny of governments all over the world giving that arm of government near unilateral power over our freedom at the point of a gun.
