Which means that you don't see it as an absolute moral imperative for each individual or each family to soldier on alone. I know you would see nothing wrong with neighbors or church groups rallying to assist the only people on the block whose house burned down in a wildfire. It's a way of spreading the burden, much as insurance companies spread the risk. To my mind whether that burden is spread on the small scale among neighbors or on the large scale as an act of government makes little difference as to the rightness of the enterprise.
