[EX Q]: Comment: Shoot them, or live trap them and eat 'em (as long as they're not worm infested).

Live trapping only to release them "a few miles down the road" is head- slappingly stupid.  Why should your tax dollars pay for spaying/neutering a FERAL animal??    EAT them.

[EX Q]: Comment: It is hypocritical to cite a 116% increase without also saying that in Arizona, 80% of people receive financial assistance to help them pay their premiums. In 2016, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the monthly Silver Premiums after financial assistance for a 40-year old non-smoker making $30,000/year in Arizona was $207/month. In 2017, it was $207/month. That’s an increase of 0%.
