Universal healthcare and workers' rights are two completely different things, the latter of which was won in Europe post WW2, through protests, and fears of communism spreading, not through the ideas of politicians.

The most reactionary group in the US isn’t the ruling class (oil company billionaires), it’s the local gentry (car dealership owners), and the one opposed to more universal healthcare is the upper middle class (doctors, lawyers). Similarly expensive housing is blamed on “developers” but is actually caused by rich retired homeowners.
