> More broadly, unless a system is truly overwhelmed by bad actors, I’m inclined to not worry about them at all. It's more expensive to means test many of these programmes than to just hand the money/benefits out. But it's a common human bias that cheating must be prevented, even when it doesn't make sense in the aggregate. It's a cognitive limitation we have to get beyond. This is why americans don't have universal healthcare, because they are obsessed with making sure that no one gets care who doesn't 'deserve' it as much as they do, even though it would actually benefit them in the aggregate if everyone in society was cared for.
