Most people or families don't have $10k a year extra burning a whole in their pocket. The expenses will force them to change their lifestyle in many cases, but that's what happens when you get disabled. The idea of care for the disabled is to keep them from desperate poverty, not to maintain their current lifestyle, at least not just from benefits (if they have a lot of savings, or they have other income, or money from a lawsuit related to the disability, or they paid for and now get benefits from disability insurance, that's a different story)
