It is legal, for sure. I said "somewhat abusing" because she is choosing to suppress her income in order to qualify for benefits. Nothing illegal about that, but perhaps it's a bit unethical to make less money on purpose to qualify for government aid?

What actually is unethical is to have healthcare systems that people working two jobs can't afford, don't you think?

Healthcare can potentially be a life or death type situation.

I have trouble throwing down questions of ethics on someone who wants to be healthy and live.
