Are we?

The health insurance system is corrupt and medical services are arguably on the decline.

When you don't have money or a job, you can get basic benefits and in return get treated like a dog. For many people that is still better than in their home countries, so they come here.

The middle class is getting smaller, because they're the ones paying for all this.

Is milking the middle class from all ends socialist? Doesn't feel like it.

If you're from Germany, go to a US hospital once to get a basic treatment. Then look at the bill and think about the argument of a corrupt insurance system. Because as a German, you'll likely never have seen how much a doctor or hospital actually charge a patient.
