Well - try being a poor childless person. What you get is bupkes multiplied. You are eligible for jack shit. I know. It's happened to me.
Getting on disability (as I am discovering) is, at the minimum, a two to five year process. Even then, I'll qualify for very little because - guess what? - I don't have children.
As a single, childless person with no income, if you try to get health care, you get shown the door. If you announce "I'm pregnant" - it's a very different story, believe me.
