EXography: Many disability recipients admit they could work | WashingtonExaminer.com.
Recipients of federal disability checks often admit that they are capable of working but cannot or will not find a job, that those closest to them tell them they should be working, and that working to get off the disability rolls is not among their goals.
More baffling, most have never received significant medical treatment and not seen a doctor about their condition in the last year, even though medical problems are the official reason they don’t work. Those who acknowledge they’re on disability because they can’t find a job say they make little effort to find one, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of federal survey results.
Let me be crystal clear: These undeserving recipients make me want to puke. They deserve no part of the American dream and no portion of my tax dollars.
This sheds some light on the issue:
But the analysis also revealed more practical barriers to weaning recipients off the disability rolls: The jobs they’d be candidates for often don’t provide health insurance, which is essential for those with medical problems, and they’d rather receive the federal benefit. Many also say they don’t have transportation to work.
But, but… the article just mentioned many hadn’t seen a doctor in the last year. I’m confused.
