For money yes, but medical conditions they are two very different things. America is very backward in alot of its medical areas, mental health is just an example.
The health system is there is so outdated its shocking. :(
KansasJew:
Well the plot thickens eh lol. Now your bashing our Health Care System :::D
Actually your misunderstanding of Disabilities Act is this in order to get the MONIES you have to be classified with a disability by a Physician that works with the Social Security Administration.

Yes I bash it with a 10 foot pole from a great height, field work is one thing but going into a major US hospitals, and seeing the monkey run outfits is another.
I expected more from a country that was bragging about its care.
One thing I learnt early on, is to spot people that blow sugar up your skirt, doesn't half apply to that sector.
As a medical professional I can't accept sub standard conditions in a first world country. Yes I know I am Anal, but that what makes me a professional.
And thats just my option on your public sector, your veterans side............... G-d help you all. :(
My point still stands in a medical diagnosis, they are two very different things.
And I will point out once more MY statements APPLIES to ALL COUNTRIES not just America. I am not completely narrow focused.
