Who says they have to pay for them? Certain benefits include help with these transport expenses.
Mini cab firms do very well out of hospitals too - ferrying sick and disabled passengers (probably families and medics too) - sometimes in place of an ambulance, if safe enough.
That's not to say I disagree with your point that the disabled are twice as likely to be living in poverty than people without a disability.
