I wonder if some of this isn’t that people are realizing that insurance will cover this and so are now filing.
What would be the benefit of pretending to have alzheimers..
Disability
But what else?
And won’t brain scans have to confirm
No, I think it’s that they are testing people. So if the testing went from literally zero people per year, to hundreds of thousands, then surely you’re going to wind up with a statistical anomoly like this.
Much like screening folks for cancer, there is a gobsmack of money to be made doing this “safety first” screening stuff so YOU TOO can be saved...but ONLY if you act NOWWWW!!!!!
No logical reason for that-the only possible payout is monthly disability income-aka SSDI-and it isn’t enough to make filing such a claim worthwhile-maybe the effects of all the drugs people take at the drop of a hat, or the chemicals in the processed food people stuff themselves with, etc are really not so harmless after all...
