For the sake of clarity I think reserving the term socialized medicine for situations where the government is the one providing service such as in the UK and not when the government is providing funding such as Canada. There is also universal healthcare systems like Singapore that still provide a strong private component.

Although even that's contentious - in the UK GPs, pharmacies, dentists, and most other frontline medical jobs are privately owned and run. Only really hospitals are government-operated, and even then there are private hospitals, insurance, and healthcare.
