Hello, I have recently been studying AnCap and so far I've been having some problems with it and I was wondering if anyone could help me clear this up. I have some friends that have disabilities and require assistance with many of their daily tasks. That isn't a problem where we live since our government (I live in Scandinavia) gives out almost free medical support, professional assistance and financial support to them. To me this seems ideal. But my thoughts are that in an AnCap society there would inevitably be families with such low income that they couldn't support their children if they were to have some disabilities. And what then when those individuals grow up, not being able to work and still requiring assistance. Are they supposed to live off of their families for the entirety of their life. In short, society will always have individuals that cannot contribute but will always need help. How does a stateless or a semi-stateless society help those people. I think that not supporting them would be immoral. Your thoughts?
