We Americans have a combination of privatized health care and public. The Medicare program is 300% more cost effective than private programs. Government sponsored medical care is not “collectivist’ anymore than government police forces. As you recall, the police were not government institutions until the mid-19th century. Medical care is a vital need for all members of society just as is education or fire departments. Perhaps you want to return to privatized fire departments which were common in the 19th century

I agree, this isnt libertarian at all.
Libertarians would privatise the NHS.
These ideas are collevtivist socialist ones. Not good at all.

There is nothing Libertarian about these draconian proposals.
