Even if she was trying to fleece the insurance, which I don’t think she was, I find it insane that we are so upset that someone may possibly get something she doesn’t deserve that we are okay with creating a system where so many who do need it are refused.
If doing something like this would put you out work for a week to month, maybe don’t do it? How is your back supposed to heal and get better if you never actually rest like you’re supposed to?
You can argue being able to live you life and all that, but yeah, don’t do stuff that will hurt even healthy people and than cry foul and blame something/somebody else and fleece them.
I think you missed my point. I never said she should or shouldn’t have done something that could exacerbate her injury. I’m saying that even if she was a total scam artist, I would rather some scam artists get money they don’t deserve than use that as a basis to block those that absolutely do need it from getting any help.
Any assistance or insurance program is going to have some grifters and a well run one will already be factoring that into how the program is designed and funded.
Herein lies the problem, even people that aren’t faking it, still shouldn’t be doing something like this. Most healthy people would Injure themselves attempting this.
It’s the welfare-queen strategy: if you can show that 995/1000 people use a safety net as intended, 50% of voters can be convinced that it’s a fraud-soaked boondoggle
