I greatly admire the philosophical principle you pretend to be speaking from.
Unfortunately this two-tone, wide and shallow view of existence is inadequate to the issues.
In case you hadn't noticed, industrialization, urbanization, the rise of corporate power, and the intensity of connection across the coutnry and planet, has generated a series of situations which tend to fight against the individual in ways that make the staunch self-reliance which you preach an insufficient solution.
Your answer to health care, for example, is "Don't get sick. Don't grow old, or you might get sick. If you do get sick, please die quietly."
Unfortunately for your ilk, the breadth of human experience is deeper and broader than this cheap sepia world view.
