This is the point where America discovers European liberal political theory and praxis! This is one of their key points; universal healthcare is a hard-L liberal position because only the state can insure certain classes of catastrophic risk, and by doing so you increase individual freedom of action. (European liberalism is clearly culturally distinct from social democratic thought; where it comes to the same positions it's typically by other means – not that there's anything wrong with social democracy or democratic Socialism, for that matter.) A good starting point would be, at pan-Europe level, the ALDE; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_of_Liberals_and_Democ.... National-level parties you might have heard of are the Liberal Democrats (UK) and Democraten 66 (Netherlands). |
