Yes, but you are not capable of pointing out which people, and that is part of the problem here. If you could then you could take care of them on an individual basis. Which is one of the reasons most countries have some kind of social net to catch people in trouble. In an each-for-themselves-and-god-for-us-all setup those people will likely not make it. But that's no reason to address the superficial symptom, you'd do better to examine the root cause and fix that instead.
