Advocating for socialized medicine kinda sorta makes you a socialist
By that logic advocating for the police, fire department, or any kind of social program makes you a socialist.
Luckily that kind of logic is asinine and you should be able to under what a mixed economy is
Police, fire department, national defense etc are considered public goods.
One of the determinants of socialism is that it must entail the public provision of non-public goods(like healthcare).
So you can advocate(your word) for the police and fire department and not be advocating socialism because they are public goods.
But advocating for universal healthcare, a non public good, probably does make you a socialist.
Just try thinking this through my friend.
