Keeping the population healthy is completely independent of left-right thinking; keeping the workforce able is a slightly right-wing concern. De-fanging the natural monopoly that always appear in the private health market is a completely right-wing concern.
Every moderate position favors the state providing health-care. It’s not a left-wing point.
Thats why i said it is “slightly left”. everyone left wing will agree with you that a single payer health care system would be preferable to the status quo.
I do not see the moderates/right wing advocating for universal health care in the US, because the establishment does not give a fuck about the health of the common people. Therefore this is a left-wing position in the US, while it might not be an identifier for being left wing in other nations.
The US does not have a left-wing.
I can think of Bernie Sanders, that is a left moderate. But he is really an exception.
And that’s a radical position. It’s not even radical on the individualist-socialist spectrum, it’s completely out of it.
I agree that this position is “out-of-bounds” radical, making the US just as hostile to the welfare of common people as Russia (best example from the last days: shooting down a drone passing over a densely populated beach instead of a mile further inland causing 7 dead and around 20 wounded civvies, and then abusing the pain and loss of these people to run anti-Ukraine propaganda)
