The problem with your formulation is that "the center" is really different depending on who you ask, how you ask and what issue you are asking about. I, for instance, favor a decentralized approach to a lot of things and I think there is an argument for a lot of state-by-state creativity on health care insurance reform. Oregon got a waiver about a decade ago and did some really interesting things, some of which worked, some which didn't and some which were scuttled by the recession. On the other hand, I believe that a basic, adequate, health care system should be considered a fundamental right in our country because it is required for "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". And, as we've seen over and over again in our country, fundamental rights have to be ensured by the federal government even if they aren't implemented by the federal government. So I don't think it is as easy as left vs right vs center. It is a complicated set of issues indeed.
