I wonder if there’s a “right” to disability payments.

September 21, 2009

Whether there is or not, it’s not hard to imagine someone saying so. In which case, Wisconsin is an oppressive hellhole:

Wisconsin’s Social Security disability case backlog among worst in U.S.

It’s not an unusual story for disabled workers caught in a Social Security bureaucracy plagued by delays.

…The average wait for a claims hearing in Wisconsin is 657 days – one of the longest in the nation, according to an analysis by the Wisconsin State Journal. At the Madison office, which handles La Crosse cases, it’s just short of two years.

Attorney Maureen Kinney said she has one client whose claim is close to three years old.

Hat tip Boots & Sabers, where Owen writes:

No… no lines could possibly happen if government took over health care.
