I feel like ssdi or ssi are only "okay" if you live with family. I'm a single adult with no relatives, and the 1k/month(ish) I get isnt even enough to cover renting an apartment where I live. Even if I lived with family for free, that 1k/month wouldn't be enough to pay for the things I need that are directly associated with my disabilities (doctor visits, travel, assistive devices, a maid or property manager, my service dog and her needs, etc.).
There was a study recently that showed support for assisted dying is higher among poor populations. No shit, we can't afford to live, and we can't afford to die from our issues either lol
Yeah once my parents die it’s euthanasia for me. I want to live but in these financial conditions I have no choice but to die.
Medical associations know what people with different things need. Let them dictate that and give it to them. None of this flat amount of money crap. Like we can't afford it. Sell one jet.
