My guess is you're a EM resident?
There will always be people who abuse the system. It's unavoidable. Yet, I would argue that the majority of these people that you claim to be 'sucking off the system' are actually suffering from drug abuse and/or mental illness or have low educational attainment. There are very few emotionally stable, drug-free, educated healthy adults who are abusing the welfare system.
Furthermore, let's all just review that there are really no lifetime users of federal 'welfare'. Five year lifetime limits for cash assistance were implemented in the mid-90s and unemployment also has a 99-mth limit.
If you want someone or something to blame for our growing budget deficit - blame corporations who don't pay any taxes.
Wow...way to make an assumption as to my specialty. No, I'm not EM...thank you very much. I actually ran faaar away from that, FM, and IM due to this stuff. Thanks...I'm actually doing residency in a very happy place, thank you very much ).
I'd like you to read this and then discuss:

Also, using your same logic, there will always be people for which access to healthcare isn't feasible. It's unavoidable.
