A lot of this comes down to food: whether you have a meal plan or not, and/or whether you plan to eat onsite or not.

There's a supermarket at Val d'Europe for bigger shops, which is about 5-10 min drive. The onsite one at DCR is still ok if you're only getting a few bits.

There is a supermarket onsite at DCR but I think it is quite expensive. There is one nearby outside of the resort which is more reasonable.

When it's universal, it's the same amount for everyone so I don't think people would care too much about this as long as they was eligible. The same argument could be had about the state pension.
