2000-2014 the fastest growing part of Medicare was the babyboomers retiring. It was Aid Codes 303 and 389 SSI Disability. 2014-2016 it flattened. 2016-18 there was a slight decline. 2018-19 a steep decline.
But it will take a couple more years to get back to 2000 level. And that had a lot of fakers who were not disabled.
If a person can type in these chat rooms 40 hours a week and do so with intelligent conversation, then that person should get a job and not be on disability. I am all for making training, especially Vets with alleged disability.
Most of these people claiming disability are depressed, has low self esteem. The high suicide rate comes from them.
Having a job is good for them, not just for us taxpayers.
