If there's a fixed amount of care to be allocated, and you increase the care to some people by considering them like family, you will also be reducing the amount of care provided to those who were already considered like family. You appear to be glossing over that fact. (And I suspect if it was made clearer, your idea would sound much less palatable.)
I did not mean to gloss over that at all. Quite the opposite: This is a central point of the SSC post I'm reacting to, which I linked ti several times and quoted.
