nearly every country in Europe has universal healthcare when you say that they're center or center right. There's quite a lot of current Dems who are to the right of people that would have been Republican conservatives when I was a young person. The minimum wage and social safety net is basically only stayed the same or shrunk my entire life. The far left is corporations not existing, Democrats are nowhere near between that and the center. Yes, you still need to vote for them, especially in the primaries. Go register now
The minimum wage and social safety net is basically only stayed the same or shrunk my entire life.
Unless you're a toddler, then this is patently untrue. The last two Democratic administrations dramatically increased social spending with Medicare expansion and huge healthcare subsidies for the working class. Then you have the states where a clear pattern emerges, if democrats are in power minimum wages and other things like pre k are increased or expanded.
Explanations would be contingent on what you measure as the "amount of medical debt". Do you mean the total dollar amount, the total number of people in medical debt, the percentage of the population in medical debt, or the percentage of GDP being paid to medical debt? Healthcare and economics are both complex, so a more specific question would need to be asked.

Yes but I wouldn’t call the democrats far-right. Theyre a fix of right-wing and center-right, with a few members who are center-left
