In a perfect world they wouldn't have to, I just don't see why this is the government's responsibility. How many aspects of our life are we going to put them in charge of? What's next, federally mandated cell phones? After all, people shouldn't have to sacrifice their economic stability to ensure they're not murdered on the street because they had no way of calling 911, right?
