I could run laps around anyone in an argument on how an HMO is better than a Socialized system.

HMOs are better for the companies paying for the care, but not always better for the AVERAGE patient or the doctors involved. Those doctors are often forced to accept way to many patients and to basically care about none of them, because 5 extra minutes to care isn't paid.
HMOs are a great theory that in reality don't work as well as they should. Socialized medicine isn't much better. But any "for profit" or "for lowest cost" system will squeeze the quality right out of the deal.
