It is more at the several million who get Social Security Disability Income with claims of depression, back pain, bipolar (yes, some people are actually disabled due to these conditions).
The SSDI program is projected to go broke in the next 2-3 years.
A side benefit of this ruling may be a million or so people who aren’t really disabled but taking the money because they are “depressed” after long periods of unemployment, getting off SSDI and going back to work. Or at least fewer people deciding that SSDI with SNAP (food stamps), discounted utilities, Medicaid, discounted phone and internet and so forth isn’t worth signing up for.

Not to disparage anyone legitimately disabled, but there is a huge number of habitual “takers” who will not care what they have to give up. Freebies will trump security and/or independence every time.
