Nah your good man, it truly is insane watching how much money gets wasted by trying to catch cheats. Just have Dr's submit shit and get it done, then if someone does cheat go after the Dr's and the cheaters.

Fraud for disability might be higher than other social welfare programs but last I heard fraud for food stamps (which directly supports American farming btw) was well under 1% which means if they spend more than that fraction of a percent looking for fraud it was a waste of money. Guess which direction the government would rather put their money.
