yes! I'd probably argue that a majority (or at least significant plurality) of acute care (hospital care) in the US is the direct result of the failure of social services. I include in this mental health issues directly resulting in poor health, inability to access primary care (so minor/treatable issues become severe), housing issues, drug issues, lack of elder care options, etc.
