Letting folks with shall we say, to be a tough no nonsense daddy type, character flaws, falling through the cracks, with all the collateral damage, starting with whatever issue they have sired, but beyond that, if they have to live under bridges, or steal, sell drugs, or themselves or so forth, to make their way in this world, and then get sick and maybe communicate TB round and about, just doesn't work out too well. No man is an island. There is no escape, even for those who are not naturally bleeding hearts.
The trick is to balance communitarian concerns, with individual liberty, and economic efficiency considerations. Sure it's tough, and is always an ongoing work in progress, requiring a lot of good judgment and wisdom. And all too often ideology gets in the way. Ideology is all too often an anchor, and/or a sail without a tiller, rather than a sail with one, when it comes to moving the ship of state forward in the right direction without hitting the rocks.
Just one dessicated old man's opinion.
