The facts are:
1 With about 1.5m welfare recipients there has been wide scale abuse of the system and there are not enough people to do the analysis to recover most of the money.
2 The robo system has recovered roughly $300m the overwhelming majority of which was not contested.
3 Epstein committed suicide because he was convicted.
4 There is some credence in the claim that the system was insensitively handled.
In conclusion the system needs refinement especially when the claims are contested, but should not be cancelled.
