Healthcare should be a basic right for all Americans. We need to provide high-quality healthcare to all Americans and a single-payer system is the most efficient way to accomplish that.pic.twitter.com/lY9kTQ4TRg

Libertarians, I believe, are supposed to have higher IQs on average than other political tendencies. Isn't it reasonable to expect them to be able to figure this out - that it makes sense as policy - without fixating on an essentially irrelevant philosophical debating point?
A lot of Americans take their rights pretty seriously, and don't consider them philosophical debating points.

Sure. But the idea that negative liberties are the only legitimate rights doesn't hold up in practice. Are the civil servants and construction workers being unfairly coerced when they're mobilised to build roads? There's no "right to roads" in the Constitution...

... but apparently it's unproblematic to mobilise taxpayers' money for the public good in that context (and many others), but for some reason not healthcare? Why is this? (I'm British btw, though I follow US politics perhaps unhealthily closely... )
