Even in your regressive fever dream that you’ve invoked with no evidence, the wealthiest country in the world can afford to give healthcare to all of its citizens and simply chooses not to in order to sate the corporate middlemen who bribe its officials to do so; “fraud” would just be more people having access to the services everyone in every developed nation except the US already has access to.
Do some reading on the NDIS in Australia. Fraud galore. Couple are both registering as each others full time carers and both getting all expenses paid everything, among all the other types of fraud.
I would abide a hundred people engaging in fraud if it gave just one family the chance to live a normal life. You’re so focused on the few gaming the system that you’ve completely forgot the entire point of the program.

It’s never just a few though.
