Yep. $12/month in taxes to help their fellow members of society. Less money than a Netflix subscription to help many people literally afford food. People who have massive student loan debt that this "fairly large group" does not have.

I'm not sorry to say that if people think it's valid to argue "I shouldn't have to pay $12/month to help other people live a healthy life", then our society is broken because the people in it are broken.
