Uni Health Care

[Tiberius]

As a Libertarian I believe it is the government's responsibility to protect the lives of its citizens, ergo public healthcare should be a top agenda. Private healthcare should also exist to cater to those who wish to use it. Whilst public healthcare will be a basic service (as in no perks other than good healthcare), the private healthcare business would provide those perks (such as private rooms, personal doctors, etc) for a price.

Would this mean the rich people pay taxes towards a service they won't use, and then go on to pay again for a service they will?

Yes. In a Libertarian society there is a flat tax rate for all people, regardless of income. This tax is used to give the services that people need (education, healthcare, etc). If people want to pay extra for "better" levels of education / care, they are free to do so.

I would liken it to buying a car. If you are poor, you can afford a decent but low-budget car. It will get you from A to B just fine. If you are rich, you could buy the same car (it's still decent and works fine), but since you have more money you probably want something a little better.

Libertarianism provides a decent health service that attempts to give the best service it can for its budget. Private healthcare has a larger budget since it has high paying clients, and so can afford to give a better service, in the way of personal doctors, private rooms, etc.

Of course, nothing is stopping the rich from saving money and using public healthcare (it is open to everyone), just like nothing is stopping the rich from buying a low-budget car.
