It's always the other guys who are getting a deal/steal. I benefited for many years of employer paid healthcare, as Megacorp did. Now I've taken advantage of the legal subsidies, not sure why I'd pay more to feel better about myself.
I paid for schools I didn't have children in and all kinds of social programs I didn't use. That's okay by me, it works out in the end.

It's human nature, also, that we tend to notice subsidies that *cost* us much more than we remember the ones that we benefit from. As a result it feels like almost everyone thinks others are getting fat at their expense, even if we are getting pretty close to a fair deal when everything is added up.
