Hi hmnr asg,
With a job in silicon valley tech, I would think you would have short and long term disability through your work if you've been paying into it.
I found this article on non-citizens and SSDI. It sounds like you would have to been paying into SSDI to qualify for it. So if you were exempt from paying for it, your next option would be Canadian disability.

The idea of moving to a cheaper area in Canada sounds good. An area with close proximity to good doctors is a plus.
