Standards for health care systems not only are not immutable, they also aren't universal at any particular time (different people would support different standards).

But "safety net", applies some really low minimum that will, as Lane 3 put it "keep people from going splat".

People who want a high standard "universal" system want more than a safety net.

You have other issues with respect to libertarian views on self interest versus selfishness.

Its not just a "self interest" thing. Your opponents in this debate think a government run universal system would be a negative for most people, not just for themselves.

Its also not just an ideological thing. Its not just that they don't want what you want, but that they think the proposals you put forth or support won't give you what you apparently want.
