Your thinking American Conservatives are representatives of Conservatives around the globe. It even recently came up in the Canadian election rumours started that Prime Minister Harper would cut many health care programs. However he quickly denied it as it upset the majority of his supporters. Now whether their was any truth to the rumour I don't know. But the Conservative Party was very quick to deny it had any intentions on cutting Health Care.

Infac the Liberal Party of Canada cut way more social programs then the Conservatives have ever. I know because I was in foster care and on financial support for awhile. It wasn't the Conservatives threatening to cut the programs I was in it was the Liberals.

I'm pretty sure Conservatives in Europe are likely also different then Conservatives in the United States. To link Conservative to religion is also pretty bad as I know many non-religious Conservatives. In Canada we have three main parties the Liberals (Center) NDP (Extreme Left) and Conservatives (Middle to Right).

Fact is you can't assume just because the American Republican Party supports certain measures that all Conservatives do. Just look at Australia their Conservatives have done all kinds of shit that Canada's Conservatives wouldn't do and not even America's.

Also you do realize that many of the hospital's were created with the help of religious groups. Catholics were very instrumental in the building of many hospitals here and abroad. Also while the Catholic school system is horrible it was also the main education system until the Government stepped in at least here.

Religious people are the ones who started many of the social programs we see today not the other way around!

Conservatives in the West generally oppose anything that may be seen as "Socialism", and social programs fit in this category.
