Is it true that Americans are to this day afraid of socialism?

I would suggest you look at negative tax and coupon system from very liberal austriac school. It doesn't do statization of anything, doesn't go for the socialism ideals on these but also allow that poor people have access to education and health. Much better system than things like Brazilian univeral healthcare and public education.

I'll have a look. I just think that USA's system is inhumane, and there needs to be some system that guarantees it *channels Bernie voice* "as a yuuuman right" to every citizen.

Governments are inherintanly inneficient and giving stuff for free usually is underappreciated and inflated demand, so it usually makes for a lot of waste money. With tickets government keep only the very basic national sovereign, judicial system and infraestructure. School and Health aren't managed by government, they basically transfer some sort of wealth (coupons) but the hospitals and schools are private and people can choose where they want to use so that can improve competition among schools. Of course that also need to very well defined to avoid entering the problems of guaranteed money to universities inflating prices and similar for the health cost in USA.
