If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.

problem where a ton of attention and discussion is required to determine what’s covered and what isn’t

Criticizing aspects of the current insurance-based system but claiming they’re about Universal? Classic libertarian move.

Universal Healthcare doesnt have that problem, it’s what universal means.

This idealized version of universal healthcare isn’t possible because it’ll require more resources than we have as a species. There’s always more that you can do to improve health outcomes. A line had to be drawn somewhere.

No, it won’t.

That’s not what Universal Healthcare is.

You’ll have to explain what you mean by universal healthcare then. Wikipedia says

Universal healthcare does not imply coverage for all cases and for all people
