For both men and women, for every single age cohort, a greater percentage is on disability in 2017 than in 1980. Given the advances in medicine since 1980, does this not constitute darn near incontrovertible evidence that it is easier to get on disability now than it was back then? I wonder if the recently uncovered Conn fraud scheme is just the tip of the iceberg, with similar outrages going on all over the country?
