I think there is a low of truth in what you say: -

There is this nebulous thing the politicians call the 'center', but what they think is the center or moderate is completely different from what the public see as the center.

If the Rep's campaigned on Good Healthcare, housing, and crime, as well as the Economy, they would walk this election.

But no. Health care is still socialised according to them!

Ludicrous.

There hasn't been a good example of a single payer healthcare system. I have family in Canada and follow UK politics regarding NHS and as someone who has had to have non life threatening but very painful urgent care done within hours while seeing my family suffer for months for things that can and did kill them to get even the most basic diagnostics done. No thanks.

If we restricted it to things like broken bones and the most basic healthcare imaginable sure. But we always want to spend millions on saving one person and we simply can't afford that nationally for every single person walking on our dirt. Triage universal health care sure, but that's considered heartless so I just vote no universally.
