But if you’re getting healthcare and unemployment that would be two supports that most Americans don’t get. The plural for support is supports isn’t it?
That meaning of support is a non-countable noun, like water or happiness (or Lego, but lots of people get that one wrong). There is no plural of non-countable nouns.
You might use (for example) “bodies of water”, “levels of happiness”, “pieces of Lego”, or “sources of support” etc.

Silence, bot, the only thing worse than a pedant is one that isn’t even correct.

Never heard of linguistics or prestige dialects, just go around parroting nitpicks they learned in 7th grade grammar classes.
