You were specifically referring to people with no jobs collecting disability benefits. I certainly agree that people obtaining these drugs when they don't need them through insurance/medicare/medicaid is a problem.

medicaid also applies to the working poor, and it has been recently expanded to cover a larger demographic in many states.

This isn't a "government giving poor people money" problem, it's a "doctors writing inappropriate prescriptions" problem that is unrelated to the source of funding and clearly happens with private insurance as well.

Your post that I was replying to was also very specifically NOT about the working poor, but about jobless people on disability having a "lack of purpose".
