By dictionary definition, that's all neoliberal. Most Democrats AND Republicans from the past 50-70 years are neoliberal, and even Trumpism is steeped in neoliberalism.

At it's core, it is a trust that the "invisible hand" of the free market will keep the ship of society afloat. As though the body commence is some kind of organically-organized supercomputer that seeks to optimize for global prosperity. It looks to unchain the capitalist machine in the same way AI bros seek to unchain their gpt waifu so we can all singularity.

To this end, when looking for a neoliberal, you're looking for someone who wants to privatize public services then deregulate and cut taxes for businesses. So despite it having "liberal" in the name, it is a thought movement led by conservatives. Like, Ronald Reagan is one of its staunchest champions.

ah yes, the whole universe is the true human body, and the market is the heart.

Yes. Affordable Care Act funnels tax dollars to the insurance companies by giving subsidies to individuals to buy health plans.
