Comparative Righties

How far to the Right has the American Conservative movement gone? Here's some perspective using the UK Conservative Tory Party's defense of socialized medicine:
"We are the party of the National Health Service today because we not only back the values of the NHS, we back its funding and we have a vision for its future."
Those "values" are collectivist healthcare delivered, for the most part, to everyone free at point of access via general taxation in government-owned and run hospitals and government-employed doctors.

All we want in the US is access to health insurance and the Conservatives are ready to revolt. Forget that in the UK the hospitals are owned by the Government, i.e., the people.

Only in America you can get a collection of people who have a little, get brainwashed by by people who have it all, to go after people who have nothing.
