“When large democracies create state mandates they will inevitably be exploited. Now it appears that nearly a million in Britain were taking advantage of sickness-related benefits that they were not eligible for. This figure is arrived at via reports that 878,300 ‘decided not to have an official assessment of whether they were fit for work.’ The Telegraph informs us this was more than a third of the total number of people claiming sickness-related benefits. ‘As well as the 878,300 who chose to drop their claims, another 837,000 who did take the a medical test were found to be fit to work immediately, while a further 367,300 were judged able to some level of work.'”
