I think there is a huge assumption being made here. Not everyone (or even mostly everyone) in the southeastern states expects to be subsidized any more than people in other states. There are a lot of vocal people; the media spins the story to suit them and to stir up controversy. That is how the rest of the U.S. then views the southeastern states. I don't want a government handout; I don't want other people to subsidize my insurance premiums or any other part of my income, etc. Neither does anyone else I know. I just want to pay my fair share, no more and no less (but the less the better- ha ha).

I can understand where you are coming from but our part of the country is not any different than anywhere else. Lots of people want something for nothing. No matter which part of the US they live in.

What I would like to know is how many people who complain about subsizing premiums for others were eligible for the earned income credit on their taxes this year. That would open a whole new can of worms.
