It's amazing how raw and unsympathetic the portrait can be when it's white folk.
The writer went so far as to say it was cultural. Do you think they would make the same proclamation if the article featured blacks?
And by the way, I agree that it is cultural.

Disability is just another form of unemployment with a pool of doctors all too willing to certify.
I don't think you understand how disability works. As a physician I don't determine SS disability. All I do is list conditions, treatments, prognosis and surgeries the patient has undergone. I will many times do a functional capacity evaluation by a certified independent evaluator to determine what category of work the patient may be able to do long term (heavy, moderate, light, sedimentary, etc). I have never once determined a patient is unable to work in any capacity in 10 years of practice.
It's an elected judge/lawyers who determines SS disability. Many times this judge is motivated to keep constituents happy in his district.

That's true, but you know there are doctors who ahem exaggerate their patients conditions as well.

I have been trying to tell people this for years. The problem is not welfare, it is social security disability
Then you have been speaking the truth for years. It's shocking how many seemingly healthy people are "retired" and receive a nice check each month.

Hey. What do judges ask in the hearings to determine disability eligibility? Just curious.
