That and healthcare is mostly reactive and not preventative in most cases.

While stuff like culture, stress and how you take care of your body are preventitive measures.

I know we'll disagree here... but I do think that the government should find a way to provide food for any citizen who wants very basic government food.  Provide actually food mind you, not things like foodstamps... because of the lessons food banks tell us.

If we replaced national foodstamps with a national foodbanks system where you send food we could probably serve 4-5 times as many people for the same amount of money.

That and it's much harder to abuse.  You can't really sell the government food that anybody could get for free if they wanted.

If government didn't provide any food to people (with food, or food stamps), people in this country would not starve to death.

For a few reasons. One, is if you try, you can feed yourself for almost nothing. And two, charity would make sure no one in this country would starve.

So you are replacing the government looking after you with a charity.

Why are you willing to have one hold your hand but not another? Your government could be far more effective than a charity. It has more resources. By your thinking charity is simply another tax.

Your government doesn't provide homes to those on low income, single parents, abuse victims? Here we have the housing association to help people. Does you gevernment actually do anything to help its people because it's sounding to me like it doesn't. It also sounds like you don't want them to.

I hope you never get made redundant, lose your money in a recession, get cancer, have your home repossessed and live on the street.

You will have zero to very little help unless there is a charity to look after you which you wouldn't accept anyway.

I also hope you give to as many charities as possible. One day you might need them.
