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.

As an American man I only have a 40% chance of developing cancer in my lifetime, but with universal healthcare there’s 100% chance I will have to pay for it.

Seems like your memory problems are getting worse… too bad you don’t have health insurance, or you could go see a doctor to have that checked out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All American makes have a 40% chance of developing cancer in their lifetimes which you are saying is risky.

So you’re saying it’s risky to be an American male.

Do you know what a strawman is?

You said that. You defined the risk. Are you having memory problems again and think that I made your comment?

So you’re saying it’s risky to be an American male.

That is the conclusion you have drawn based on the risk you, yourself, defined. Yet, you’re blaming me for things you did.

Do you know what a strawman is?

Sure: when you try to change the subject from health insurance to:

“being an American male”
unemployment insurance
your wages
my usage of quotation marks

These ar just a few examples of the straw man arguments you’ve tried here.
