[quote=Anonymous]My uncle was on disability for much of his adult life. Why? Because he contracted HIV in his late 20s in the 1980s and SSI paid for his HIV medications. He was caught in a catch-22: if he made too much money, he would lose access to his HIV medication and die. Because we don't have universal health care. So he lived in a constant state of anxiety and depression. Worried about making too much money, he held a series of cash jobs throughout his life with less-than-ideal working conditions. This prevented him from increasing his skill set and going into more lucrative professions. [/quote]
