Voting Libertarian? I Hope You or Your Kids Never Get Sick.
Take a close look at just how reprehensible a free market health care plan is, from a doctor herself . . .At this point I pulled both boys back into the office and explained that their care combined was well over one million dollars in the NICU. Since then heart surgeries, intensive care units stays, and home oxygen. If this were a Libertarian health care system no insurance would have covered them. They’d have crafted a way to get out of it, by preexisting conditions or caps on costs per condition. I’m a doctor and I couldn’t have afforded the care they needed to survive. In countries without regulated health insurance parents have to pay in advance or their children don’t even get admitted to the intensive care unit at birth. Even if I’d sold my house when they were born and had a robust health savings account I’d have been bankrupt by the time they were five or six weeks old.
His answer, “Maybe we shouldn’t be saving those kids.” He looked embarrassed that he’d said it.

All they hear is "abolish the IRS". 
See, the problem is
a) That's never going to happen.
b) By "abolishing the IRS", you're also abolishing the wealthy's two biggies: the Capital Gains and Estate Taxes.
c) That, in turn, leaves YOU, ME and all of us holding a 30% bag for everything the destitute poor (which, by giving the wealthy free money, there's going to be plenty of) can't pay for and the rich won't pay for.
d) Deficits and the Debt are going to soar, because cutting education, health and social services has short and long term repercussions.
e) Infrastructure is going to go in the shitter, because private institutions in no way, shape or form can handle the upkeep like the government can. Or even worse, they'd turn it into a for-profit competition.
F) is what this idea gets.
