How many people I know got hit by a car and had their life ruined horribly. Or a bad surgery. Things totally out of their control.
We need to see disability as a cost to society we must pay, not a failure of individuals which is more or less what were treating it.
The American disability system is basically proving (very painfully) that life is barely livable to get scraps of help. Like below poverty levels.
I really wish that we moved away from pain oriented policy - - how much pain are you willing to tolerate so we can get you basic assistance and into some sort of way to guarantee that people live an okay life as a default. My dream is to see this sometime in my lifetime.
