That's the tough question, isn't it? I don't want the govt in my life but because they are paying the tab sometimes, it isn't my choice totally anymore is it? Here is the question, if you want to tell the govt to FO, are you willing to not accept aid from them? IOW, if your kids get sick and you are broke, tough. Otherwise, what you are saying is that the govt cannot intervene but when the time comes, they need to be able to pick up the tab. How is that fair? Just like at home, Mom and Dad set the rules. If I don't like it, I move out. If I want to have 10 girls over in my room every night, not a thing my Dad can say. HOWEVER, when I stay with him, he can.
The solution is to get the govt out of our lives otherwise, as long as they have some financial interest, they have the right and obligation to see that their subjects are cared for in the way that will not burden them.
