Gary Johnson's Surprising Stands On Social Security And Health Care
"Actually, the 2016 Libertarian Party platform goes further than a simple “reform,” to my eyes — more like an eventual abolishment.
It says the United States should “phase out the current government-sponsored Social Security system and transition to a private voluntary system.” Retirement planning, the platform says, “is the responsibility of the individual, not the government.”
Johnson has personally endorsed privatizing Social Security, too
--
People should be free to purchase health insurance across state lines.” (That last part echoes what Trump has said.)
But probe a little deeper into Johnson’s positions and the proposals verge on the radical, compared to our current health care system. He’d essentially abolish most health insurance and would eliminate any government involvement in health care.
Johnson would repeal Obamacare “in a heartbeat” if given the opportunity, he has said. “If the GOP bill lowers costs and improves care, I’ll sign it,” Johnson proclaimed in a CNN Libertarian Town Hall in June. On Joe Rogan’s podcast in May, Johnson blamed Obamacare for his health insurance premiums quadrupling “and I have not seen a doctor in three years,” he added. “I wish I didn’t have to have health insurance to cover myself for ongoing medical need.”
As president, Johnson has said, he’d balance the federal budget partly by letting states restrict eligibility for Medicaid.

I'm sorry, but that is just mindless and completely heartless.
As I stated earlier, the libertarian agenda is totally unworkable and puts money in front of the human condition.
There are some things I agree with in the libertarian platform, but taken as a whole, it's absolutely horrible, disgusting, and incredibly foolish.
There are a myriad of issues that I totally disagree with libertarians on.
