Correct me if I'm wrong, but under the Libertarian model basic social services would still exist but the opt-in methodology greatly differs from our current structures. For example, emergency rescue apparatuses would remain in place if an individual chose to pay for them, either as a part of community or smaller union. Almost akin to a HOA. In theory this is more efficient because you aren't being forced to pay into things you may not require or deem necessary. Essential civic utilities such as emergency services would hypothetically survive because, for example, you might have a difficult time acquiring homeowners insurance if you don't have the 'fire safety' package.
Ostensibly this would lead to more competition in both the insurance and emergency services markets as customers are free to shop around for what best suits/accommodates them individually.

I'm actually not in favor of what I explained, I'm just trying to help you understand how it would work.
What I can tell you is that privatizing prisons has nothing to do with privatizing emergency services.
I realize that you are comfortable propping up private prisons as your punching bag because it has been in the news recently ... but come on.
Don't you think that contract security might have prevented Benghazi?

If one more person goes to the trouble of explaining the "Libertarian Model" to me . I will holler

The concept of privatization (like the concept of Marxism) is flawed. The prisons being an example. Working in an arm of state government with my eyes I see not only the physical inefficiency, lack of accountability and the predicted cost reductions that rarely materialize

I have been opposed to prison for profit long before it became the punching bag du jour. This is not a new concept
