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.

Is Obama care neoliberal?
Yes. Affordable Care Act funnels tax dollars to the insurance companies by giving subsidies to individuals to buy health plans.
But they were directing those public companies on how it was spent. Neo Liberal is about lassiez faire capitalism, not social capitalism
Yes
No
For sure. It is a market-centric solution that gave billions of dollars in additional profit to existing health insurance corporations.
Especially since the public option was killed.
Even though neo Liberal is about hands off government. Obama Care directed private companies on how they were to behave. How can that be neo Liberal?
They’re only hands off when it comes to things like social safety nets. Obamacare was basically corporate welfare.
Yea, forcing conditions on industry is welfare
What? Obamacare included an insurance mandate that required everyone to sign up or face penalties.
To sign up for healthcare provided by a corporation. It was a major handout.
It was literally Mitt Romney and the Heritage Foundation’s plan in MA originally.
ah yes, the whole universe is the true human body, and the market is the heart.
