I'm strictly free market. There are some things I think should be socialized, like natural resources in many instances. Oil, and natural gas are great examples, they drill a well in one area, then pollute the entire area underground, as well above ground with pollutants; where's the compensation for those suffering from the effects? To further that thought, oil, usually when disaster strikes, the 'fix', is always socialized, but the profit is kept private.

For things like oil, I could see companies renting a patch of land, or paying back like what's done in Alaska.

Another reason I'm not for organized big medicine, or socialized, is I feel treatments are too restrictive. Allopathic medicine treats the part; basically changing the proverbial oil, or replace the part; where by (W)holistic treats the entire body as a complete unit; which I lean towards for myself. I think if it were socialized, allopathic would 'rule the day, by enforcement via color of law'; in turn potentially destroying other less toxic holistic treatments.
