And, the government is comprised of its people.
A FEW of its people. And they don't suddenly become saintly benefactors, just because they managed to win election or wrangle a patronage appointment.
Many years ago, I totally believed in our nation's capitalist government, however, I then saw a news story that dealt with our nation's elderly. It pointed out that our elderly were having to eat dog food in order to cut back on costs in order to afford their medications. Not long after that, our government announced that to deal with this, they would ensure that the "quality" of the dog food, would be increased. That.....was when I decided that we were not a nation to be proud of.
Add to this, occasionally, parents have children that are physically or mentally challenged, which causes the family huge financial difficulties and they are sometimes unable to afford all that would be needed to properly care for such children.
While you haven't come out and blatantly come out and said so, I believe your response to such situations would be:
Let the elderly eat the dog food and if they still can't afford the medications, let them die; that they spent their entire lives supporting the capitalist system, is irrelevant.
As to the special needs kids, your solution would most likely be, let the kids die.
Or, in both the elderly and the special needs kids, it might be....euthanize them.
