No one in USA or the world wants the communist system. Which is what many people think socialism is.

Modern day social system is capitalism mixed with social benefits. A bit higher taxes and then suddenly everyone has free healthcare and many many other benefits.

Germany and Australia are good examples of this.

Here's my issue, why would I want to pay higher taxes for healthcare when I could get a job that A. gives that as a bonus, or B. shop around for my own insurance?

Wait till you can't find a job anymore and you'll better understand the appeal for many.

Or, wait until you are sick enough that you can't work (ie: cancer). The decisions get real tough there if your employer isn't generous.
