I get the person is applying for a disability claim but surely they must already have tried and failed to achieve satisfactory symtpom adjustment to receive welfare?

It’s literally about filing a disability claim

Disability claims are part of healthcare

They're filed with their state, not a health insurance company.

Does that mean

A) disability claims aren't healthcare

B) insurance companies aren't the only healthcare providers in the world

I can't tell if this is an actual confusion about the difference between the American health care and social services systems or just like petty malicious internet one-upmanship.

Assuming it's the former, disability payments aren't actually part of the health care system in the United States. Like, you don't get a payout from any organization that actually handles healthcare, it's a separate bureaucracy that just serves to gatekeep disability income.
