is this supposed to be facetious? because my point is exactly that there is nothing to do other than that and that to pretend that you can "elbow grease" and "work ethic" your way out of debilitating injury is just asinine.

you really don't see how weak this counterpoint is? e.g. if you break your hands what exactly are you going to do with your legs?

>No one will help me, especially progressive leaning people. You don't get political or social brownie points for helping disabled people the way you would for other minority groups who are struggling. We are constantly ignored and forgotten.

I have no idea what this is about but there was very strong activist push to get the ADA in 1990 and similarly the ACA in 2011 but I guess that doesn't count

> I was in a situation where I needed money for healthcare that will never be covered by insurance, especially government sponsored universal insurance

No clue what this means or how you could possibly even know that.

>You healthy people aren't nearly as caring as you'd like to believe.

Bold of you to assume that I'm healthy and don't have a vested interest in universal healthcare getting passed
