I'm not sure "moving somewhere else" is really a credible argument to the assertion that government is consensual.
Well, it's a credible as the argument that taxation equals theft. ;) No one asked to be born into a given society, but no one in our society is making anyone stay here. One CAN leave, if one is so inclined. Apparently, it's also easy to get into this country, but that's another discussion.
I'm curious... how do you reconcile your assertion that taxation is theft with your view that healthcare is a right and should be provided by the government through mandatory taxation that redistributes wealth?
Simple: Sometimes theft is necessary. See my boat analogy, or, if you will, the French revolution.
