About people on welfare or medicaid . . . . what do you think?

I work in a pharmacy and see a lot people on welfare and medicaid. A few days ago I filled prescription for a man who is on medicaid, welfare, probably food stamps, doesn’t work, and lives in the trailer park next door to the store. It was for an anxiety drug and it hit me: how much anxiety and depression can a person have when everything is paid for by the government and you don’t have to work? It’s bull, I think. It made me wonder if I was the only one thinking this, so I’d like to know: what do you think about welfare, medicaid, and government assistance?

Rest assured, you’re not the only one who’s upset by their scam.
I for one am tired of paying for any frivolous medical problem for welfare recipients when I work and can barely afford to go to the doctor myself.

I think you’d find that anyone working in a position where they deal with this segment of the population is resentful. I’m a nurse. I’ve seen old records of some of our ‘frequent fliers’ in which they took an ambulance to the hospital for a yeast infection. I’ve had to care for these abusers of the system, as they ordered extra trays of food at each meal for multiple family members, treat the nurses like servants,create havoc for the staff and disregard hospital rules. Nothing is ever good enough, and they’re getting it free!
It’s disgusting.
