There was nothing on increased education programs and all that was mentioned regarding long term care facilities was that they should be decentralized (not 100% sure as to what that means).

There is very little if anything about helping sustain a healthy population, especially for those who are at greatest risk of illness.
I think Danielle has been pretty clear on not looking to the US for a healthcare model, but rather to some of the European ones that do work. Specifically, universal coverage (same as we have now), but with options on the delivery side.

None of what you have stated even remotely appears "overly socially conservative". So I ask again, where are these policies?
