And your point is? That it is okay to demand that poor people agree to become slaves in exchange for access to health care for their family?

No- that private property rights are consistent with the libertarian quote above because it's voluntary.

You can argue what truly voluntarily slavery would look like in a modern world, but involuntary chattel slavery is what conflicts with principles of private property.

I'd argue things like athletes signing away future percentages of potential earnings (which was a fairly popular idea until the current NCAA name and likeness rules changed) would be one potential version.
