- nradov 3y agoAt some point in that process you should be able to get onto Medicaid and/or Social Security Disability. Of course that can take a while and it's not easy for a patient to deal with cancer treatments and navigate those systems simultaneously.
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoDisability in America is a death trap imma be honest with you, if you’ve never personally tried to navigate it I don’t think you should be recommending it anywhere. It’s normal to be denied, then spend over a year on the appeal, and then you must never own more than a small amount of money.
- nradov 3y agoI am not "recommending" disability. I totally understand that it can be difficult to navigate the application process. But anyone who meets the eligibility criteria should go ahead and apply to hopefully get some financial support.
- rqtwteye 3y agoMedicaid and disability are not as golden as you make them out to be. It’s actually quite difficult to get treatment.
- nradov 3y agoI never claimed that Medicaid and disability were "golden". Go back and read my comment again. Those are last resorts for people in bad situations. But anyone eligible should go ahead and apply, at least to get the process started.
