When the government pays to repair your body, they will take great liberties in telling you how to maintain it.
They're just looking out for you, ya know. ;)
The government doesn’t pay - it’s an insurance scheme.
Well true. The government confiscates and redistributes in loving manner for your welfare. Why don't I feel you're appreciative of their compassion?
And like any insurance - it's subject to fraudulent claims
Insurance fraud costs this country £3 billion a year
The insurer (in this case - the government) is obliged to take all reasonable steps to ensure that it only pays out on legitimate claims.
So any measures that are put in place to detect fraud is fine with me.
