Showing Original Post only (View all)Interesting thing about the far right National Front (French) Party [View all]
In their angry racist far right campaign, considered by many to be the most far right major party in Europe, not a single statement was made about changing their single payer health insurance for all national plan.
They also voiced their support for the 35 hour work week and supporting civil servants and continuing the basic work of the modern state.
They may be bat shit crazy for Europe but here they would be seen as too far left for the Republican Party.
The US Republican Party is the only party in modern developed democracies to not embrace universal health care as a fundamental right.
