In 2008 we saw the largest preferential transfer payments in American history handed out to banks under the oversight of a Republican administration. If there is any one thing to be learned from that event, it is that in the modern world ideology is as thin as piss on a hot rock. With respect to the health care question ideologies are irrelevant and unnecessary as there is no reason to believe that all this whining we hear about fascists, Marxists, and bears oh my is anything other than projected material self-interest. Your characterization of your chosen bogeymen as believing they are the only ones who understand the historical process is not something that is particularly Marxist in character, in fact it describes the insane Neocons who dragged us into the Iraq war to a T, as well as fitting the "best and the brightest" of the 1960s who were quite unable to keep us out of the wholly senseless Vietnam adventure thanks to their ideological perspectives on the spread of communism. A choice between two failed "pure" ideologies, Marxism and capitalism, is being made daily, and the result is a synthesis. As far as evil goes, it transcends ideology by using it as a means to an end.
