When the GOP condemns socialized medicine, why don't they consider health insurance in general to be just that

Isn't health insurance an example of socialized medicine? We invest our money into a pool so that if we get sick, society (the people vested in the insurance fund) shares the burden of one persons illness. Is that not socialized by definition?

Seeing as the government doesn't run the insurance companies or the system it really can't be called socialized..........
