I don't think I've put a subjective qualifier on anything. I'm questioning that premise.

You have subjectively decided that the consequences of implementing your supposedly objective principle are too harmful.

Just like many people decided that the consequences of allowing 50% of elderly people to be totally without income were too harmful.

This is entirely subjective. I can make the same sort of argument in regards to universal health care, which has been shown again and again to provide real tangible benefits to those who need it most, as well as to those who are no longer required to pay for it (corporations) and those who do pay for it through taxes (a healthier population benefits literally everyone). I would argue that bankrupting a family of five because one of their kids got cancer is an unacceptable outcome of the non-aggression principle. This argument relies upon the exact same justifications for why policing and courts should not be privatized, and taxes should not be voluntary.

You accept one, but won't accept the other, on the basis of your principles... which you have, yourself, placed limitations on, limitations that are justified for the exact same reason why SS, or the bailout, or providing public defenders are justified.
