Legal or not the question should be is it morally acceptable. I work full time as does my husband who also has to save up his sick and personal days for the many yom tovim. We both pay taxes along with everything else we pay for, and it is just disheartening when so many other people have it so easy without really trying. My friends whose husbands are in kollel are fully supported by their parents, yet they are on Medicaid , WIC etc. I pay a very high price for my health care bH I have healthcare, but many friends living in nicer apartments than I are on Medicaid and have no co-pays etc. I just think everyone needs to do the right thing. If you want to learn on kollel then do it but don’t expect the government to provide your entire livlihood and means of living.
