Bias against the disabled is as American as apple pie

You are very right. Every person I can think of that is getting away with what they perceive as "something" has an inside connection to "the system".

However, many of these hard-up people (and yes, you've got to be hard-up to try and pull this sort of crap!) become quite devastated when they find out that the fatty pension they are drawing w/benefits is changed once they become "disabled". They MUST enroll in A/B Medicare and they get dropped from their former insurance.

They squeal like little piglets when they find this out and realize that the hole they have dug for themselves is not so easy to crawl out of.

As a disabled person it angers me that people get away with this but it is even more interesting to me to watch it backfire on them when they begin to realize that the world in which a truly disabled person lives in is not so hot; in fact it truly sucks along with the horrid stigma that goes with it! As for the seemingly constant reviews, etc., I often wonder why they bother with folks that have illnesses for which there is no real viable treatment/cure as is my case.

Good post btw.
