Welcome to the US, where parties that would be villified for being extreme-right in Europe are actually on the left side of the aisle, and the left side as it exists in Europe simply doesn't exist. Welcome to the country where the major leftist party is actually arguably anti-union. In most areas it's actually quite a bit right-of-center, in economic cases it's extreme right. If a rightist party in most European states proposed reducing a European national health insurance to the level of the ACA, they'd immediately be cordoned off and laughed out of parliament. They know this, and so it never happens. I still find it absolutely incredible.
