I realize that it wasn't the major point you were making, but no, I don't believe that the small amount of abuse of the system makes it harder on those who need it, it's a common rationalization though.
There is more than enough money for people who need it desperately, it's the priorities of the government that make it unavailable to the needy and basically legislate poverty.
I detest hearing the weak, and the impoverished being blamed for something that is a result of money mis spent by the government. One that doesn't seem to find poverty and homelessness, and *proper* health care not token health care, as an issue significant enough to warrant more than lip service.
