The poor are “stigmatized” to be on any sort of a dole? Give me a break...the notion of shame in accepting public dole money went out of fashion 60 years ago. In fact, I haven’t heard of that concept in probably 40 years.

Today it’s become a badge of honor to see how much you can suck out of old Uncle Sugar.

Well actually there is a good reason. They cost so much because you have to pay for the ones who get enough subsides that their policy costs $1-100 per month plus all the new Medicaid enrollees.
