Number of Workers on Disability Hits All Time Record

If the state says you don't have to work because you have a paper cut, some will take advantage of that. In the United States, more and more are taking advantage of disability laws, which of course is growing evidence that the state is getting more and more people dependent on it and its regulations.

  1. How to explain the approval of physicians ? You have to get an approbation to be on the disability payroll.

  2. There's no cost to physicians to approve disability. In fact, they'd get compensated "treating" non-illness, so it is in their interest to exaggerate the severity of condition.

  3. We all ready had that happen in the Netherlands. I know people who took advantage of the system by getting advice from some doctors about what to say too make them look ill. Now they made it more difficult to get disibality pay even if you'll really sick. But when a new program of disability payments for young people was introduced, the number of disabled youn people rose very quikly.

    That problem with disability payments happened also in Sweden and Poland, don't know how it is now.

  4. The population is aging. Couldn't that have something to do with it?
