You were specifically referring to people with no jobs collecting disability benefits. I certainly agree that people obtaining these drugs when they don't need them through insurance/medicare/medicaid is a problem.
- ghostcluster 9y agomedicaid also applies to the working poor, and it has been recently expanded to cover a larger demographic in many states.
- opencl 9y agoThis isn't a "government giving poor people money" problem, it's a "doctors writing inappropriate prescriptions" problem that is unrelated to the source of funding and clearly happens with private insurance as well. Your post that I was replying to was also very specifically NOT about the working poor, but about jobless people on disability having a "lack of purpose".
