if you ask this way: both
but i meant being single mother, working and not being able to provide healthcare to your kid.
i know single mothers get the short end of the stick mostly everywhere, but at least basic things like health care are usually provided. i can only tell from the two countries i am living in: health care is NOT free, it's a % from your income. but it's mandatory to have it and if you are jobless the government takes care of it. no fancy things, but you NEVER have to worry about going to a doctor when you or someone from your family is sick that you can't pay for it. and if you are wealthy enough you can opt in for extra insurances that also cover the more fancy things.
of course no system is perfect but if i may say so: the US system sucks donkey balls
