Huh? How is it not healthcare? ADHD is a disorder that’s usually well-treated with medication.
I get the person is applying for a disability claim but surely they must already have tried and failed to achieve satisfactory symtpom adjustment to receive welfare?
Sure but the claim is “for profit healthcare is bullshit”. In America disability claims are the one part of the healthcare system that is actually socialized and paid by the state (speaking generally, unless we get into the ugly nuances of short term disability which is usually paid by private insurers tbf but my assumption for something like adhd which is a lifelong disability they’re discussing something like SSDI)
I can’t tell if this is an actual confusion about the difference between the American health care and social services systems or just like petty malicious internet one-upmanship.
Assuming it’s the former, disability payments aren’t actually part of the health care system in the United States. Like, you don’t get a payout from any organization that actually handles healthcare, it’s a separate bureaucracy that just serves to gatekeep disability income.
This isn’t about health care but disability services and social welfare but sure

It’s literally about filing a disability claim
Disability claims are part of healthcare

They’re filed with their state, not a health insurance company.
Does that mean
A) disability claims aren’t healthcare
B) insurance companies aren’t the only healthcare providers in the world
