#snowballed into a big ass rant but tbf i stand by it all

firstly, i HATE british people that see a giant issue in a country that damages real people, often to the point of trauma, and then uses it as a "GOTCHA! my country is superior hahah"

secondly, i can PROMISE this person is not disabled

being disabled in England is not "sipping tea and chilling"

it's being unable to get a doctors appointment no matter how early in the morning you call. its those appointments being 10 minutes long with an uninterested GP who doesn't even believe you. it's having to beg for even a blood test. it's being disabled for 7 years and giving up fighting for a diagnosis 5 years in. it's 6 hour wait times in A&E. it's disability benefits being hoops you have to jump through. if you're "lucky" enough to get the benefits, forget getting married, but also forget ever even LIVING with a partner, because your benefits will be reduced ridiculously. it's uneven pavements that are difficult to navigate even without any disabilities or aids, but good luck to you if you have any! its people that find it funny to film disabled people and send it to LADbible for a couple quid. it's your benefits barely covering rent and food, god forbid you need to heat your home in december; who cares if the cold makes your pain worse!

if this person thinks it's okay to mock disabled Americans cause it'd be "so much easier" if they were British, I would LOVE to hit them with a bus, and then send them to an NHS hospital. HAVE FUN BABES!

btw, the machine that dispenses tea is broken. hospital budget cuts won't allow them to fix it. sorry:)

If you’re british and this is your reaction to disabled Americans talking about their medical bills/medical debt we should be allowed to rip your limbs off and beat you with them
