It's morally wrong?
John, you are starting to scare me.
Can anyone get Food Stamps, Welfare, Medicaid? All have means tests. All are unhappy who do not qualify.
If you want to worry about moralities first worry about sending 22 year old's into the world with 4 years of debt. Worry about the morality of continuing to make healthcare unattainable to millions, worry about morality of the price of prescription drugs that the government pays for.... while funding many of the studies.
How are you justifying a tax that is effectively regressive in nature and then claiming the ones who benefit from it's structure, since it's inception, need their emotional state guarded? God forbid something be perceived not fair to them, how would they ever deal!
To borrow a line from you, this is insane.
