Have you actually looked into the cost of this proposed grifting? Like welfare it’s actually hard to “take advantage of” because it’s so little money. People underestimate the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars, and these help programs, even if some take advantage, are still drastically cheaper than all the enforcement we put around making sure people don’t grift. This is true for welfare and healthcare. The American system costs more than most countries per capita because of rich grifters, not poor grifters.
It’s just the optics, and people prefer to spend more than feel like someone is getting a leg up. It’s the entire platform of conservative governments around the world and it’s a sham. Show me numbers that are actually impacted if say, 20% of people are cheating compared to all the monej we spend trying to drive that number down. The numbers are so laughably low it’s not even a rounding error in budgets.
1 million dollars if every dollar was a second equates to a little over 10 days. 1 billion dollars is a little over 30 years!!!
Disability is hard to take advantage of because there are checks and balances. You get more money on disability than on welfare and there are plenty of people on welfare who would take more money if they could get it. Having an open door policy on disability gives that opportunity.
We spend waaaaay more on checks and balances than if we let the occasional grifter through. It’s not that it should be completely without oversight, but we waste astronomical amounts on attempting to make it “fair”, and then the rich take advantage of that and grift anyway (politicans).
The amount of money grifters would get is so tiny in the US budget that it’s not worth even talking about. But a lot of politicians platform is to convince YOU someone else is the reason for all your troubles, and blow the impact of these grifters out of proportion so they can keep themselves in the loop and profit
It won’t, which was my entire point. People make you believe that, and then ask you to pay THEM to keep the grifters away, grifting you in the process. This is literally how healthcare works in the US.

It will only be occasional until news spreads. Then it will become common.
