Socialism in our society is it enough?

I believe that the socialism in our society is just enough. When we look at things such as medicare, welfare, and food stamps, we see that our goverment is trying to give us freedom to do as we please yet assisst when needed. By our goverment providing things such as medicare we are able to get the care we need form doctors without being neglected because of low incomes. This shows because more than 30 million with medicare used it for preventitive services in 2011. This statistic is shocking to me. I didn't know much about medicare until I went on Medicare.gov. Medicare also covers early tests to find heart disease which is the number one killer in America. The next thing that by having socialism in our goverment is welfare. About 30 million U.S. citizens are on welfare right now. This is helping people who are less futunate the chance to live at least a decent life. No it doesn't mean full equality, but this also could jump start even just one of those 30 million people to turn their lives around. One more thing that is showing the right amount of socialism in our society is food stamps. Without food stamps peope with less than $2,000 in resources in their homes would not be able to pay for food for their children, their elderly parents, or even more so themselves. By our economic system having just the right amount of socialism in our society we are not bein over powered but also not under powered by our goverment. By our goverment being this way we are only being helped.
