When aid depends on proving you're sick enough, some learn to perform it, and administrators learn to doubt everyone. Honest people get caught in that cycle, forced to justify real pain. Basic income breaks the loop. No means test means no incentive to perform, and no reason to doubt. Just support.

I'd say an UBI along with the safety net programs would help to solve the poverty issue.

To add to why "you don't look sick" is such a common challenge: It's estimated that 1 in 10 Americans live with an invisible disability. Non-visible disability means a disability that isn't immediately apparent. Of people with chronic illness, 96% have an invisible disability.

This is why I call myself a socialist, even if my particular flavor of socialism is a bit radical from most.
