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.

This is also known as "Libertarian Socialism." Interestingly enough, this idea predates the current definition of Libertarianism by decades.

Interesting! I didn't know this existed, but I can align myself pretty well with this terminus. Thank you :)

This is probably where I align economically, but I support statist mandates that are inconsistent with "individual libertarianism" or "civil libertarianism."

For example, we should decriminalize drug use, but there should absolutely be a strong statist intervention where people are forced to stop using drugs.
