Claims experience matters to future premiums. The insurance companies don't have to take losses, and everyone's premiums go up. The amount of the claims is the amount of the fraud. Alternatively, comparing to buying insurance is a logical falsehood- they went on Medicaid instead of being uninsured.

While true that claims experience has an effect on future premiums, there seems to be an indication here that there were special needs children involved. IINM in chronic cases (such as some special needs) it is straight Medicaid, rather than Managed Care Medicaid, which means that rather than Medicaid paying premiums to an insurer for managed care, they actually pay the medical expenses directly as incurred.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The amount of people who's ONLY concern is chillul hashem is astounding. The prevalent views on Gezel akum, Taos akum, Lying, etc are shocking. People seem to think yashrus is only for suckers and 'harrys'.

(I actually heard someone say that even the chillul hashem isnt an issue if they had a 'heter')

What about אל תדין את חברך עד שתגיע למקומו?

How much gezel akum and taos akum is there when taking advantage of price mistakes and then asking Amazon to give you free money? How much is there when milking millions of points and miles out of credit card companies? I am guilty as charged, and I therefore don't ask about other people's gezel akum and taos akum.


I'm not entirely certain that chillul hashem is really what bothers most people. Most people are embarrassed by association ("now everyone will think I do this kind of fraud too and it makes me look bad"), not by the fact that hashem's name has been desecrated.

Min difference between this and the examples you cited is that if someone buys an item on a price mistake, Amazon doesn't have to give the credit. It's their choice. Same with banks. They could 5x24 or whatever to stop people, or just red flag certain Ssn to automatically decline etc.

Here, lying took place to cheat the government into giving the money. Completely different.

Salaries of 100k are not even enough to live a comfortable lifestyle in the frum world with a nice amount of kids.

Living comfortably isn't a right. In fact, Pas Bimelach Tochal doesn't include granite counter tops...
