Thank you for shining a light on the details of the US welfare systems. I exist in the severely disabled category and what you said it spot on, though you did leave out an important detail. Disabled people and those that marry them are also punished when they get married. My spouse's income disqualifies me for disability benefits, and the same is possible for my health coverage.

That is an important detail and thank you for sharing it here. I need to mention that more often, how marriage affects all benefits.
