Socialism has social programs but it's not the only system that does . But no social anarchism for instance rejects ideas like welfarism.

Never knew I was plaid cymru. At least that's where I always land when I take that test. But then I question that tests validity.

But there is fraud all the time i private medicine i mean look at the horror stories of private health withholding information for profit or giving needless drugs and surgeries to boost their bottom line . It all depends on how it is run.

Those are providers committing fraud, not payors neglecting to effectively monitor and curtail fraud or negligence in care.

The problem is that we've somehow demonized socialism. at least, socialism for the poor. The rich get subsidies like nobody's business. They've demonized propping up the poor, because they know they have to get revenue from somewhere to run the country. And they refuse to take from the right, in fact they prop up the rich with more money, so they have to try to justify not helping people who actually need money and help.
Some Americans hate socialism because black people might benefit from the programs. It's a racial thing.

Yeah, there are still a lot of racial tensions everywhere. You'd think we would be over it by 2018, but I guess not.
