Parens Patriae:

Parens patriae is Latin for "parent of the nation". In “colour of law” it refers to the “public policy power” of the “state” to intervene against an abusive or negligent “parent”, legal guardian, or informal caretaker, and to act as the “parent” of any child, individual or animal who is in need of protection.
Note: notice the wording here; “parent of the nation” or “parent of one’s country” or “father of the people” means “common law authority”.
Therefore Parens Patriae means the “common law authority” of the Attorney General to represent the interests of those who are unable to represent themselves.
Because you are unable to “represent” yourself, you have now lost your authority and are under the authority of someone else.
Doctrine of Parens patriae makes sure that the voiceless, abandoned and disabled people are ultimately the responsibility of the State and the State must take all the steps to ensure their well-being as they are not in a position to do so.
These times, the family courts and other judiciary bodies have the authority to assign the custody of destitutes to welfare homes run by state, to look after their food, clothing, shelter and health.
For example, vagabonds who are rounded up and produced by police before the courts are put in destitute homes by court orders. Similarly family courts order the custody of children unwanted by divorced parents to Child care centers run by state.

then you find medical care and pay for it, a docktor is not there to help you
reply
when you say medical care, I distinctly think it's the same as a doctor. Healthcare, hospital and medic really sound the same.
reply
a docktor is there to contract with your person (contract an illness), to keep you indebted and sick. operates in commerce under admiralty law a medic is what you mean
