Last year ~6 million people were eligible for unemployment. The fact you are flaunting your entire family's healthcare costs and using the entire US population of adults, retirees and children to justify the theft of 36 billion dollars is concerning.

Not flaunting, just a fact. Not justifying just showing the math.

The cost spread across 1/3 of USA population is $360/yr - still way less than the health care cost.

My point is simply that this fraud burden is a much smaller fish
