Hmm but I have the same view for food and housing. Where I live if your mother doesn't have allow money to buy proper food the government will contribute (both for food and housing).

The difference is that the government doesn't take over all farms, restaurants and grocery stores and require you to get your food from them even for everyone who can afford it themselves.

Hmm but the government also doesn't take over the medical facilities where I live? Most medical facilities here are normal private companies (some privately owned, some publicly listed etc).

So what do you mean?
