Libertarians be like "But with free healthcare, I would pay for liver treatment for alcoholics, and lung treatment for cig smokers! No one will incentivized to live healthy lives!"

I think I found a way to convince them. we can say that with free healthcare kids under 18 will be able to go to a hospital and ask for treatment b without their parents because they won't need money anyway and doctors would want to keep their medical history confidential.

if kids can make healthcare decisions without their parents getting involved, that would be a first step towards lowering the age of consent!

I made it up but if we make it sound convincing they'll be advocating for free healthcare in no time.

Yeah, but that's like acknowledging children have rights, they can't have that.
