You're kind of preaching to the choir here... I try not to rant about it too often, and in truth it's not that bad, but I've been curably blind for over two and a half years, because medicaid kicks in 2.5 years after disability is confirmed. And that's only if you worked enough before you became too sick to work to qualify for it. I'm lucky, and I do qualify. I'm also lucky that as far as I know the risk of delaying surgery hasn't made the blindness permanent, but it could have.
