Reducing We the Peoples self-government to a private corporations cash cow is hardly a "leftist" principle (just the opposite.) The problem is not that the US has universal public health insurance but that it DOES NOT. Actual universal public health insurance is working fine everywhere from "emerging" economies like South Americas and Russias to leading economies like the EUs (and whatever happens with Greece and Brexit, right now, today, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)">US GDP is THIRD in the world, behind China and the EU</a>.)
So what? The world isn't in a contest to have best GDP, anymore than you are better or worse than a person who has a different salary or house size.

At some point we must face the reality that burying our heads in the sand while the rest of the world ensures ALL their citizens are healthy and college educated without going bankrupt is not exactly a "prescription" for Making America Great Again: It is a recipe for making America a second-rate world "power" incapable of competing with the vast and powerful human resources of genuine world powers.
And our standardized test performances have declined as the Department of Education has grown. Health statistics are so absurd and mendacious, that your assertion is pure nonsense. Our people are less healthy to the extent that it is true, because of their lifestyle choices. No amount of health insurance is going to do anything about the fact that we are so prosperous we can eat all we want and don't need to exert ourselves physically. Sure, maybe they're healthier in Europe, where they have to bike across half the city and medical rationing prevents many illnesses from ever being tabulated, but if the same is true about China and India then you have to retract all that left wing nonsense about the dangers of pollution and overpopulation.
If you think the status quo of the medical care & insurance system has any resemblance to the free market, you're more delusional than Trump on his worst day.
Acknowledging Putins aggression in Central Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and right here at home in the US is not "war-mongering;" not in the 1930s, nor in the 2010s.
What difference does acknowledging it make then? Our GDP rivals are going to take his initial blows, assuming any are actually forthcoming. It is an old cliche that when being attacked by a bear, you don't need to beat the bear, you just need someone else to be a more accessible meal. China and Europe are plenty of hay for Putin's fork.

The moral is that the American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation & Romney are not "liberal"
