      Support is also a strut.

      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.
