because I don't believe it's just an insurance. Like health care insurance, if you believe it's just an insurance then it is ok if it's privatized. My point is actually that it's more than just an insurance, since supporting those in need also has a moral dimension to it. It's also more than an insurance because the economic ramifications of not providing a system of social-economic security can be quite dire not just on a personal level but also on a systemic level. Failing to provide it leads to the collapse of a middle class, the reduction in domestic buying power and ultimatly can lead to the dissapearance of a highly-skilled and highly productive workforce.

And taking care of and healing the sick doesn't have a moral dimension. Obviously!
