> What you're describing are simply ordinary welfare state policies

Yes, people who support these policies are authoritarian Marxists. I'm not disparaging it, it just is what it is.

The U.S. is authoritarian and largely Marxist.

> The idea that you'd have to be a Marxist to want to centralize health insurance to reduce costs so people don't go bankrupt paying for medical care is simply propaganda.

Not propaganda, it is by definition what it is. It's not really arguable. The propaganda are the opinions on whether or not it's good. There's a fair argument it's good to make centralized healthcare, there's a fair argument against.
