Reply #8: After having worked in a public agency servicing low-income disabled individuals

[Emit]

with close ties to Social Security Admin and Welfare, as well as other public agencies servicing low-income, I will tell you that mandating pay -- even if it is on some sliding scale or with subsidy -- is a nightmare.

It will not be that simple, I will guarantee you.

You can't squeeze blood from a turnip -- if people can't afford it, or don't want to pay, what happens then?

What kind of paper work is required to "prove" they can or can't afford it and what kind of hurdles will there be to access the subsidies if they can prove they can't afford it.
