There is no good reason a kid should go hungry in the US. Federal, state, school, charity food programs make it possible for every kid to eat. But a parent who would steal his kids coat to pay his medical bills (your scenario not mine or likely anyone else's), is the kind of parent who doesn't care enough about their kid to sign up and participate in these programs. You should hang out on r/teachers some time and get a glimpse into what teachers are seeing these days.

Even if parents are going to "steal" the funds, as you say, you are still giving them that much more overhead, and research shows the vast, vast majority of people aren't going to behave like you describe (educate yourself, consume some real leftist content)
