That's definitely a case that can be argued. Social problems often make more sense to attack at a governmental level. When you have a patchwork of different charitable initiatives, often regionally bounded, they can easily fall victim to tunnel vision. You end up with solutions like "we solved the poor care metrics in Facility A by shipping the worst cases to Facility B" and then nobody's checking if Facility B is actually worse. Individual charity also tends to have the problem of awkward consumer choices. well-marketed and mediagenic causes out-raise less appetizing ones that might produce more impact for the same investment. Getting this information into the hands of a few professional analysts and budgeters may be easier than trying to run a broad PR campaign.
