    I think you missed my point. I never said she should or shouldn’t have done something that could exacerbate her injury. I’m saying that even if she was a total scam artist, I would rather some scam artists get money they don’t deserve than use that as a basis to block those that absolutely do need it from getting any help.

    Any assistance or insurance program is going to have some grifters and a well run one will already be factoring that into how the program is designed and funded.

      Herein lies the problem, even people that aren’t faking it, still shouldn’t be doing something like this. Most healthy people would Injure themselves attempting this.
