This is red herring. I'm not saying the subject of health care for the unemployed is not important, but framing the question like this distract from the practice of tying health insurance to the employer, which is the real problem.
Hell, even if I didn't, the means testing and their errors wouldn't be worth it.
Part of the problem with neoliberalism is that humans are somewhat wired to a gift economy. Part of the right to rule comes from the giving of services and benefits. A Friedman government leaves those less fortunate acutely aware that the government doesn't benefit us at all.
The government's right to enforce property laws in part stems from the fact that part of taxation is earmarked for redistribution. Even kings understood that a decent portion of their job was to attempt to balance the needs of the peasantry and the nobility, because either could cause serious problems when sufficiently pissed off.
“Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.”

When I grew up, everyone got cholera and dysentery! If people don't get it now, that's UNFAIR! Getting these diseases builds character.
If we want our kids to be SERIOUS we need to let them get cholera and dysentery. After all, both are totally natural.
