Every time you put measures in place to stop people getting something their not entitled to, you make a compromise between the percentage of people you stop vs the pain you inflict on those who are entitled.
Eg - DRM. The harder it works to make sure no one can copy something, the more pain it inflicts on those who've purchased the item legitimately. At some point you need to decide that you're willing to let a certain number of people get away with something to ease the pain on everyone else. Where you draw the line is the difficult bit.
I think that's what's happening here, but there's a certain demographic who are so determined to make sure that absolutely no one gets any sort of free ride/handout that they're willing to take the risk that they too will be disadvantaged. Instead of deciding that for the benefit of most people a few may receive a free ride, they'd rather members of their own demographic face the possibility of bankruptcy and/or death at the hand of your insurance companies.
Like I said, I honestly cannot understand this mentality.
