conservatives, always opposing changes, seeking to uphold the status quo, hate the idea of universal health care because it require drastic change, an overhaul of the entire health care system. That is why it is NOT a conservative position.
are you saying that liberal policies can never be socialist, and vice versa?
Socialism is intrinsically at odds with liberalism because, of course, liberalism opposes government involvement in anything.
But a liberal could hypothetically support universal healthcare so long as they frame it as a 'necessary evil'.
