Are you saying USA has socialized healthcare? Perhaps, but only if you are poor (medicaid) or very old (medicare), or risked your life for military service (VA), and even then the wuality and access is not very good (just like anything socialized)

Looks more like minimum safety net, rather than socialism

A minimum safety net is a form of socialism...

There is no concept of "safety net" in capitalism.

Neither socialism nor capitalism has any bearing on the existence of state social services one way or another.
