The state of Kentucky has a similar program for low income families. I believe it's like medicaid. Heck a startling percentage of Kentuckians are getting a subsidy on their prescriptions where they pay a few dollars for name brand. Guess who is paying that?
It's insanity. Eventually the rent comes due. They may be able to kick the can another decade but at some point it's all going to collapse.
