Wheeee!
Of course, the righties will say any government expansion is not centrist. That's simply a side effect about how extremely right they have flown, and the reason this country has become so fucked up.
His "crown jewel" policy is socialized medicine. How do you, in any universe, call that centrist?
Count the number of Western European countries without it.
And were we talking European politics, your point would be relevant.Count the number of Western European countries without it.
Übereil, abolishing it is considered far right politics here
Where did I use the word consistent?
Actually, I'd turn that thought around. When the left will call socialized medicine a centrist policy, it demonstrates just how far in the liberal weeds they've gone, which might explain why this country has become so fucked up.
By DTEs argument, social security, medicare, and welfare is also socialism. But of course, DTE would never call the US government socialism.
Ah but it is. Since there is more Europeans than Americans and, since quite a few Americans support universal health care, the voice of majority says that your views are no more than those of vocal minority.
And, as jhwisner pointed out, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Almost every country in Europe have their own (and different) way of implementing universal health care.

It was the only way they could get the righties to sign the bill; the health care industry overlords threatened not drop campaign contributions, otherwise. Corruption, plain and simple.
Please quote where I used the word socialism. You were the one to bring that out in a fine attempt to derail the uncomfortable topic. Don't you have a favorite phrase for that little logical faux pas? Something about dried wheat, perhaps?Socialism is a form of government, not a kind of program. Social program is the correct word. But, the right likes to use the word socialism to scare people.
