'''Welfare''' is a set of government programs paid for by the taxpayers that provide social or financial support programs specific sectors of the population deemed to be vulnerable, either financially, socially or physically. However, welfare programs can also be extended to much wider segments of the population, such as [[universal healthcare]] systems, [[vaccination]] programs etc. Some elements are opposed by [[libertarian]]s and [[conservative]]s.
