That's part of my argument but of course that is a risky proposition and precisely what the agents of the State mafia exploit is the natural and very human fear of the unknown and aversion to risk.

In other words, this is an argument that may appeal to a minority of like-minded individuals such as myself, but not something that can be used to sway a majority who can enact a political change.

My preoccupation with healthcare is not specifically moral, by the way. It's 100% practical: we can talk about reducing the size and scope of the State as much as we want, but the fact of the matter is that you can't make a dent in this gigantic behemoth unless you tackle healthcare and retirement pensions.

So I keep trying to find ways to convince people about those two specific things. Which are precisely what even my more libertarian-minded friends can't even begin to fathom.
