Question for Libertarians

Many Libertarians seem to be okay with the idea of government-funded police forces or firefighters or even military (although Ik there is often talk in Libertarian circles surrounding the idea of switching to a for-profit military force, not a government force).
Why might these people believe in government-funded (which just means taxpayer-funded) services for the police force and for fighting fires?
If their reasoning is that a government ought to look out for the physical well being of it's citizens, then shouldnt Healthcare be included? Why not?

Just an addendum, right libertarians. Historical libertarianism is far left and was coined as a term by an Anarcho-communist.

@basilfawlty89 Yeah, you're obviously correct. But I wasnt wrong either. I said "many" I technically didnt stipulate what kind of Libertarians :P
