I like how you're worried about people abusing a system but not the billionaires getting free rides and money off of exploitation and giving money to our politicians so they can essentially make the rules. I don't give a shit about poor people cheating and abusing a system, to be honest with you. I don't really know how someone can abuse a system that's providing free healthcare, education, and other needed resources, though? lol explain that to me.

And the system we have now works perfectly well, right, and isn't currently abusing poor people? lol okay. The point is, the U.S. is capable of implementing a system that benefits everyone. We're already corrupt by greedy people and corporations.

The U.S. is literally the only developed nation in the world that doesn't have a universal healthcare system. No, it doesn't take saints to make it work.

Uh, no? It's a system we would pay into, yes, but it would be a system that works for all. There are people who can't work (elderly, disabled, etc.) and they deserve access to those systems, even if they're not able to directly contribute to them. These services would also help the working people by not stripping us of every cent we make. I would be totally willing to pay more taxes if it meant I never had to pay for another doctor visit or medicine again. I would also want my taxes going into systems that I may not need but others do. It's called being a basic human being. You should try it sometime.
