I don't get how the current system is slavery but a government system that requires health care workers work "for the good of society" and out of the goodness of their hearts with minimal personal gain isn't slavery. In socialism professionals becomes slaves to the masses.

Hardly the equivalent of slavery. I would be more likely to equate a system in which one is forced to participate, forced to fund for yourself and your neighbor, and denied the right to exit is more akin to slavery. That is what we have with Social Security, Medicare, and possibly soon national health care. Mr. Firedoglake has his analogy perfectly backward.
