It's a lot, what with Medicare, Medicaid, SSD, grants for workplace accommodation. I am aware of a person with MS who is wheelchair bound but works full time at an office job. She recently had her home adapted with government dollars to add a full bath in a lower storey and a stairway chair elevator to get up and down. About 50,000 for the work.
Incidentally, rights to full medical care for imprisoned felons are mandated by numerous US court decisions, so you don't even have to be "law-abiding" to get the gov to help you.
