I don't know where I should post my thoughts about socialism. Moderators, please feel free to move it.
My concern is about American health care. I feel you could have much better health coverage than you do. For instance:
You share the costs of police forces, fire, mail, internet, schools, shops, etc., by sharing costs together. You are doing that every day, you just don't call it socialism. Yet you don't understand you are using socialism yourselves.
Get over it! Forget your fears about socialism and kick the insurance companies away as far as health care is concerned...actually they are socialists too. Socialism means "living in communities...interdependent, cooperative, agreement for social benefits...state assistance for those lacking adequate money or welfare...I'm cherrypicking here from The pocket edition Oxford Dictionary [1982].
What's scary about that?
