19. I may end up in a position to do that

Jan 2015

I was nearly at the end of the tunnel when the ACA kicked in and started doing things that help me. Now I find myself in a variety of absurd situations since I'm in a "halfway house" sort of situation medically.

I think most people in my situation can't retain autonomy: they must go live with their families or into a State institution. This, in turn, helps to prove their condition to SSI. For those who do try to retain their autonomy - welfare is not designed to support anyone. The GOP has whittled away at it to make sure you Work or Die. They forgot about the possibility of needing a safety net for disabled people. Another group that's left bereft for a long time, and driven into homelessness, are vets waiting on VA benefits.
