Disability is an unfortunate necessity as well as an economic trap. The price of things at the stores are constantly going up (even if you're a coupon genius). Yet disability payments stay the same each month.

If you're on disability, You aren't allowed to get a job that pays much, to be able to pay simple bills that most people take for granted. And good paying jobs don't want to hire anyone part time AND provide them with benefits. Despite all the policies about discrimination, most part time jobs DO discriminate against people on disability. And then you get into the issue of-- nobody wants to hire someone without experience... But disability standards essentially prevent you from getting off disability. Cost of meds, required doctors visits, and God forbid emergencies, and you can't save money. It's living week to week, month to month.

So folks on disability end up without the ability to make their own health care decisions, and, God forbid we have a dental problem, disability only covers pulling teeth and a crappy bridge (if that).

What I think is that those folks that NEED disability are entitled to it... Recognizing the associated difficulties.. Better get it before baby factories start another disability career.
