This is crazy - I moved out of Russia partly because it has "shitty" social system, but in comparison it is not shitty: disabled people get their meds/treatments, even if it is something basic/shitty. And they get disability checks (again, just enough to not starve, but this is something). There is some idiocy like people having to confirm they still don't have legs every few years, but you won't lose your status completely.
In Denmark where I am now, you can get most sophisticated treatments, social workers coming and everything. there are downsides (like long waiting times for everything - people die before it's their turn to get cancer treatment), but I can say I'm more sure of my old years where I'll be "falling apart" and depending on others.
