Govt Health Care

Tax supported national health care programs are a really horrible idea..

Why should responsible citizens who eat right, exercise, and take care of themselves have to bear the same burden of the national bill as those who smoke, drink, and eat like shit?

The beauty of the free enterprise system and a free market, is that people's actions affect THEM.  Having the community foot the bill for people's health care is a departure from a society with a healthy respect for individual accountability.

Even among the libertarians, there aren't many who advocate the privatization of the police force.  They would still be there, even in a libertarian society. 

Even if the libertarians had FULL control of the senate, house, presidency, congress, governors, state legislatures, etc, only a minority of them would support this measure, and thus it is unlikely it would be passed.

You think of libertarianism far too literally.  Consider the idea of "less government" as a generalization.  If you think the ideas of less government, generally speaking, are appealing, you are a libertarian. 

Even such hardcore Capitalists as Ayn Rand recognize the usefulness of a government police force and military..

Libertarians just want significant checks and balances within the government to secure the liberties guaranteed all individuals in the bill of rights/constitution, and prevent totalitarian/authoritarian forms of government from taking over via a police state.

There is nothing 'radical' about this in an American context...  These are very closely related to the ideas of the founding fathers who created this nation to begin with.
