How does a person with chronic or physical challenges that want to gain personal independence to drive, work or do stuff when constantly being told NO on trying to get accommodations, vehicle or other things.

We are constantly charged huge $$ for things. Example: 72k for a new van with ramp, 40k for a six year old vehicle with 70,000 miles and ramp, specific transferable shower seat that hooks over the bathtub $500, power wheelchair 30k to 60k, special office equipment that configured to power wheelchairs, medicine that could help $20k to $125k, hearing aids $2500 – $6000k, pay for health deductibles on limited SSDI or SSI income, home health care limits 7 visits then fight the system to get more help, threats of Medicare/Medicaid cuts by current President causing huge stress load to an already stressed out load.

Doctors saying want help, stop working – apply for Medicaid, everything will be free.

I think my MS is kicking my butt! I’m leaning on giving up, 7-10 years struggling.
