Not to mention that people can’t accept that someone like me wants to have single-payer insurance not out of ideology, but because it’s the cheapest and most effective way of doing it.

That was part of my conversion from pretty libertarian to, well, less ideologue in general: I reasoned my way towards the single payer based on strict self-interest, and very few supposed ‘libertarians’ would accept it because it came to a conclusion that they didn’t like. That’s when I realized most ‘libertarians’ are just minarchists, which isn’t even a real philosophy.

In the end, there’s what will work. No matter where you start from, libertarian, socialist, or what have you, you are going to eventually arrive at single-payer as the basis for your method of delivering health insurance.
