    I think your described Problem is more the healthcare system.

    The original complaint is more that people use disabled people as an argument against public transport expansion which is bad because car centric infrastructure isn’t that good for disabled people either.

    Public transit can also include a lot of disability infrastructure to accommodate for different needs. This leads to fewer and fewer people needing to take the car

      Okay. Well why the hell does it seem everyone’s disabled healthcare has them traveling 30 to 80 miles away, when there’s a healthcare facility literally 3 miles from us?

      Oh that’s right, the disabled people aren’t working for the war machine, so they’re not qualified for the local facility…

        I think that’s also a big thing in the US healthcare system. It’s probably more profitable for the insurance company to let the disabled people travel to a different facility instead of the closest one which is probably more expensive for the company or something.

        This kind of shit happens when people are worth less than the profit of a company.

        In Germany you decide which facility you visit if it gives the same kind of care.
