What if health and liberty to someone looks like them not providing any net positive to society? What compels someone to work 12 hours a day to share those resources with such a person?

Some people look to the nice things they have and think to themselves "I want everyone to have these things."
No argument there. The question is whether history shows us that that represents a majority or minority of people.
You’re making a point about loafers but non-wage earners are always going to outnumber wage earners, and able bodied loafers are a minute fraction of who we must provide for (the young, the elderly, students, the disabled, etc)
Sounds like an unhealthy person and situation such that 12 hours of labor is mandatory
Step one would be to help them get into a situation where that wasn’t true
If enough people decide they want to spend their liberty not working, then the 12 hours is a necessity, not something "unhealthy" about the person.
Sounds like you’ve got your world model rock solid
