If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death. (self.asklemmy)

Actually, education and health are the 2 things I think the government should take care of in a serious way. That said, I still Believe people should be able to pay for alternative education or health care if they wish, I just think I should never see a bill for either of those two ever. Especially for children. Wtf are we doing if we as a society cannot afford for children to be healthy or educated?

Libertarians are a bunch of myopic cunts.

Honestly it's just an ethical stance against forcing one to pay for another, emphasis on force.

The liberty they believe in is different than the more common use of the word, perhaps.

"liberty to" rather than "liberty from".
