That doesn't reduce the stigma.

I am annoyed waiting behind food stamp people at the grocery store making decisions between juice boxes and crackers at the checkout. Meanwhile I am too frugal to buy either of those.

My wife is treated like crap by Medicaid patients significantly more often than other patients.

There's a stigma that will exist regardless of the welfare state.

JK Rowling was on food stamps.

My girlfriend doesn't like homeless people and I don't get it, bcause they have harder life than we do. Irregardless whether they "deserve it" or not.
