We should have the right to decide what to pay taxes for. For example:
  • if you have a car, you pay taxes for the roads and everything that concerns using roads. If you don't, you don't pay
  • you choose if you want to pay tax for defence/the military (in many cases military isn't even used for defence, like in the USA)
  • you choose if you want to pay for healthcare but if you don't, you can only use private healthcare
  • you choose if you want to pay for cancer research which will never, ever, as long as the big pharma exists, find the cure for cancer because finding one would be against the interest of the big pharma

picking and choosing what you pay taxes for leads to certain sectors getting little funding, causing them to fail

this is taxation 101, if no one uses it, why would they pay: it's if they *may* need to use it

If certain sectors fail because they don't receive enough funding clearly those sectors are unessesary. You mean the organisations that bomb kids in syria that would crumble because nobody actually wants to pay for them? You want to give away your own earned money unessesary government departments and sovjet erea public swimming pools, schools and hospitals that are crumbling because there is no funding for them despite the 50% income tax people have?

Roads, sidewalks, parks etc can all be funded through consumption taxes so no man is forced to give away 36-50% of his value of labor so the government can bomb kids and throw people in jail for years for smoking a plant.

??? That'll just lead to all people will pre-existing conditions who can't get health insurance to be off-loaded onto the public option, which means they'll be underfunded.
Not a good idea.

Should car insurance be provided to you after you crash your car?

Costs are low enough in an unregulated market that people either grow up with healthcare as most do anyways, and basic prodecures can be paid out of pocket just like we do now too. If you decide to not get healthcare insurance and get sick afterwards that's on you.

@Sneaky You're literally not going to get any health insurance if you're born with pre-existing conditions, and you're not going to break the government-enforced monopoly on patents for medication for rare diseases.

I disagree with essentially all of his points;

  1. We all need the roads in our countries thus all should contribute to them being fixed and worked on
  2. Choosing wether or not to pay for the military/defence is one of the silliest things I've ever read, the army in the US are not only focused on invasions and assaults, they're obviously investing in defence lol, plus if you didn't have any defence you'd get invaded withing a second
  3. Why shouldn't you pay for healthcare? If 50% of the population stopped paying for it then you'd be forced to pay for the birth of your child ($10k in the us which is just a fat joke) pay for cancer treatment and such which obviously everyone can't afford.
  4. Cancer research is necessary even though we might not get a cure you can slow it down and in some cases save lives.

@NeluDaHunter patents, intellectual property and copyright are not property, are therefore illigitmate and are one of the first things. these are the #1 reason insulin costs the same as a 10 year old volvo in the US.
Insurers would cover children too as most of them do now. In the uncommon event not a single one would charities like St. Jude hospital which patients DO NOT PAY IN!, is funded by donations.

You seem to believe insurance = healthcare. Insurance is protection when something bad happens like a major accident. Because the healthcare market is so badly regulated hospitals just mark up the price by a bazillion percent and insurance companies agree. the FDA can take 12 years and millions if not billions of dollars to legalize certain medicine.

being born with a pre-existing condition doesn't mean your life is over and your parents are 500.000$ in debt. That's the case in some current systems though.
