Pfft like hell it is. Friend of mine, her body has gone completely through the wringer, between bad genes and motor accidents. She can barely stand for long periods of time and she’s only like 39, can’t lift considerable weight, and can barely lift more than a few pounds above her shoulders.
Add to that, PTSD from being the one who discovered her dads suicide, anxiety over dooming genetic diseases her dad would’ve gotten and she’s watching her mom fight, and the anxiety over not being able to afford healthcare because she can’t perform full time work, her husband makes enough to disqualify them from Medicaid but his employer doesn’t offer insurance to spouses, and they are 8 months behind on their mortgage.
She’s been trying to get on disability for 18 months. Thats when she stopped working because the pain was too much.
Crazy thing is, she’d be eligible for a ton of programs…if she also were pregnant. But they don’t want kids. And for good reason (no money, pain, they’re now in their late 30s which is a bit late for starting a family, aforementioned genetic disorders, etc)
