2000 is what the government considers universal basic income, but people on disability get about half this, to cover all expenses including medical bills.
You could be priced out of living soon, as they expand MAIDs qualifications and turn a blind eye (going so far as to suggest it as the first option in most cases) to the illegal acceptance of MAID for those in poverty.
If you make under 40k a year and don’t have a clear disability, you don’t even qualify for life saving free oral care even when they say you should.
Making an edit because i wasted so much time explaining this yesterday;
MAID isn’t the problem it’s the whistleblower of the problem. Poverty begets illness which when you cant afford a fix, begets death. People are opting for maid rather than the painful illness related deaths they cannot afford to escape.
That is the issue, the deaths were preventable had they the money to fix the problem, our social supports are a laugh and maid is warning us that more people will slip through the cracks into their service.
MAID is good, necessary even, what is bad is our government letting it be the only way out for the poor who should have another way out of the suffering than death due to preventable illness.
