>>9984733Basic needs like housing and food for someone like your brother would not be any more expensive than anyone else's, but the needed active help of course is an issue. One way to look at it would be to correctly support those companies and infrastructure that supports handicapped and the elderly more flexibly, lowering the direct price of services, or in a case where there is a mental handicap that does prevent from working, maybe they would exist outside the citizen pay to begin with in a separate safety net with lower organization and benefits going straight to the companies in charge etc. Hard stuff to think about.
