But when you add disability into it, there's this, 'oh, why wouldn't you want to be more able-bodied?

For too long, Washington, D.C. has encouraged states to extend food stamps and expand Medicaid to ever more able-bodied adults.

Ohio's legislative leadership should be commended for their role in reducing the damage caused by ObamaCare and help more able-bodied adults escape dependency.
|

ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion launched less than three years ago, but states have already signed up more able-bodied adults than they ever expected to enroll.
|
|
Under the Farm Bill, work requirements—a minimum of 20 hours of work or job training to receive benefits—are expanded to more able-bodied adults.
|
|
Based on a survey of every expansion state with available data, every single state has enrolled more able-bodied adults than they expected to ever sign up.
|
|
Illinois has enrolled more able-bodied adults than the state thought would ever even be eligible, with costs running $2 billion over budget during the first two years.

|
The Farm Bill addresses this need head-on by expanding work requirements to more able-bodied adults and closing loopholes that have allowed states to bypass them altogether.

He goes on to explain how his goal is to change not only how these people see themselves, but to also change how more able-bodied people see those who are different.

Don't hold an objectI get that officers have tasers with great de-escalating, limb-aiming abilities, but if you're rocking a screwdriver that'll put the fear in three or more able-bodied crime-fighting professionals.

For three years, Pistorius – a celebrity at the 2012 London Summer Olympics and the first to compete on prosthetics at that level against more able-bodied runners – has stuck to his account of what happened that night.

This isn't a case of just one plan going wrong—every single state with available data that expanded Medicaid under ObamaCare has enrolled more able-bodied adults than expected, with some signing up as many as four times as many as they had intended.

Policy makers who spent their careers pondering the lackluster demand for workers will have to turn their attention to a problem they have not had to fret about much in at least a generation: how to pull more able-bodied people into the work force to offset a wave of retirements.

It was thought that Bader's success as a fighter pilot was partly because of his having no legs; pilots pulling high g-forces in combat turns often blacked out as the flow of blood from the brain drained to other parts of the body, usually the legs. As Bader had no legs he could remain conscious longer, and thus had an advantage over more able-bodied opponents."Douglas Bader Foundation: The advantages of artificial limbs."

Between 1802 and 1820, 13 Royal Garrison Battalions, renamed Royal Veteran Battalions in 1804, were raised, taking into service army pensioners and invalids. Generally, these battalions worked in depots and stores doing administration and support work, which enabled the more able- bodied soldiers to do the fighting. These veteran battalions were disbanded and re-formed up until the 1820s. Most of the original battalions were disbanded in 1814, but the 10th (in Canada) and the 13th (in Portugal) were not disbanded until 1815.

The crew's preference for Blackbeard, the more able-bodied pirate captain, is seen when Bonnet's crew deserts him after the failure to capture the Protestant Caesar in March 1718. At his trial, Bonnet downplayed his own authority over his pirate crew. He told the court that his crew engaged in piracy against his will, and said he had warned them that he would leave the crew unless they stopped robbing vessels. He further stated that he had been asleep during the capture of the sloop Francis.

After 1130 AD, the monks were no longer permitted to perform operations, and so barber surgeons were employed to remove gangrenous limbs and treat open sores. Three barbers founded a hospital in Memmingen in 1214 and accepted those who were afflicted with the gangrenous form of ergotism. Patients were fed and housed with the more able- bodied individuals acting as orderlies and assistants. Patients with the convulsive form of ergotism, or ergotismus convulsivus, were welcomed for only nine days before they were asked to leave as convulsive ergotism was seen as less detrimental.

Shaw, pp. 112–113. Luce ordered these launched, but a breakdown in discipline among the crew meant that most places in the boats were taken by members of the crew or by the more able-bodied passengers; one of which was the French Ambassador, the duc de Gramont who was observed jumping from the ship into one of the last lifeboats. The rest were left with makeshift rafts, or were unable to leave the ship and went down with her when she sank, four hours after the collision. Captain Luce, himself, unlike his crew, went down with his ship, although he survived.Captain Luce's account, reproduced in Flayhart, pp. 30–33.

After the collision, Arctics captain, James Luce, first attempted to assist the stricken Vesta, which he believed was in imminent danger of sinking. When he discovered that his own ship had been seriously holed below the waterline, he decided to run her towards the nearest land, in the hopes of reaching safety. His plan failed; the engines stopped when the ship was still a considerable distance from land. Arctics lifeboat capacity was sufficient for less than half of those on board; when Luce ordered these launched, a breakdown in order and discipline meant that most places in the boats were taken by members of the crew or the more able-bodied male passengers.
