In fact, within a European context he would also be viewed as a far left socialist.

Unless there's a small EU country of which i am not aware, ALL EU countries (certainly all the major EU countries) have private healthcare, alongside its public healthcare option. Sanders' policy is to get rid private healthcare and replace it with M4A. That's some radical stuff there.
