    If it were intentional that’d be one thing, but the author isn’t contrasting economic and social policy (health care is just economic) so I’m pretty sure he’s just confused.

      They’re just using the words in the United States context because they’re talking about United States politics. This dumb “liberal isn’t left” semantic argument isn’t a US thing. It’s not using the word wrong if they and their audience use a word differently than you’d like.
