“And it would require a bureaucracy to qualify and whatnot, but that is the same as the situation now.”

I’m certain it would be less onerous than what we deal with now. It’s hard to describe the disability process as anything but “onerous”.

As long as those with needs greater than the average population are accounted for, I (cautiously) favor this idea. One of the hardest things about being disabled is that suddenly many people feel entitled to make choices for you. I sorely miss having the control and choice in my life that I had when I was able to work.

Yes, I meant that at least most of the overhead is removed, and society can focus other resources on those who can use additional help.
