"No, you don’t develop a backup to do the job. You insist (vote) to make what should happen - happen."

It won't. It just won't. Government cannot and should not try, to deal with charity.

Every attempt to do so has resulted in grift, graft, and corruption.

The problem has been that functional charities that have made a difference, and been ethically run, have been displaced by indifferent bureaucrats doling out the bennies on a first-come, first-served basis. See Bea Arthur in "History of the World, Part One".

That technique simply doesn't work for long.

Government doesn't (and can't) do charity.

Government can only do force.
