Whilst you could have phrased it more diplomatically about people dying in hospital ...you're not wrong.
There
are benefit scroungers out there .. and some are brazen about it too, believing the government (us, the taxpayer) are there just to support them.
My sister was one, might still be swinging the lead now for all I know. I'm going back a good 10 years when she claimed mental disability though so presumably the government have tightened up and weeded out those, like her, who are true malingerers.
I can't honestly say she bragged about playing the system either ... she saw it as her right and that the government shouldn't get off scot free in terms of supporting her.
She'd even sit in my lounge and whip out her mobile phone to check her online banking to see that her payments had gone in on time. She was worse than a debt collector.
