So if somebody works a couple of years, and then eats hiself into obesity, and is unable to work he's/she entitled to years of disability? Cause thats what will happen once he/she eats them self into having medical problems, and I doubt what lil amount he's/she payed in would be equal to the amount he/she would be drawing. Its not like our social security, and disability program is in the best of shape anyway. What about after (if he/she even had any) his/her insurance runs out, and he/she still has to receive medical treatment? Is that disability suppose to cover that along with everything else he/she has to pay for as well? When he doesnt pay his medical bills in effect it comes back on the people who are still paying taxes. Whos going to drive this guy/gal to the hospital, and pay for his gas however many times he has to go? It becomes an all around burden to everyone
but him/her cause he/she didnt want to take responsibility for his/her actions. Just flat selfish behavior like he/she assumes they live in a vaccum and it doesnt affect anyone who is really trying. So what happens to the guy that legitimatley hurt his self earning a living, but cant draw anything cause of all the ones that abuse the system? What if everbody just decided to play follow the leader then nobodys working, and just eating all the time so they never paid in anything to start with. Would it not just be easier to nip the problem in the bud, and stop freaking eating yourself into oblivion? I dont make excuses for people cause nobody makes them for me or wants to hear I cant. Because the fact is a lot of people can, but just refuse to.
