other countries wish they treated disabled people as well as America

Sorry to be a downer - the ADA itself is very good, but it's not the only factor in determining quality of life for a disabled person. I'm disabled and my country's equivalent of the ADA is about 90% as strong, but access to disability benefits (i.e., money) is much much stronger in my country than it is in the US. I used to be pretty active in disability forums, the whole benefits system in the US sounds fucking nightmarish for disabled people.
