I think that America as an economy is a great success. But as the word"socialism" ot "socialized" seems to set much of the populace and a lot of politicians on edge, the comittment to enter into a covenant with it's citizens seems to elude American concepts of democracy. America needs one great champion of health care for all..that person has not yet stepped forward..I believe Clinton had it in mind but could not get either the public or the politicians to buy into it. It might be possible to to push for National health in the upcomming elections if people were so not much obssed with things that are ,perhaps, of lesser importance.
