Unemployment VS Working

I just wanted to add that if your on disability in Canada you receive $850 per mo. roughly. some people more. some people less. You are also allowed to earn up to 500$ per mo. Ok I think some people get less from disability maby 650$ per month, so i will use the low number. 650 plus 500 is how much i make working full tme. If i am sick, I dont get paid. I think people on disability need that money but my point is -

What is the motivation in working full time when you make the same as someone who doest have too? Shouldnt a working stiff make a little more?

When i get sick and miss work people on disability are making more than me. I know this because I have a few friends on it ( one gets $950 per mo.) and my mom is on it. Its sad, because my mom has more money than i do. This is partly because i have medication costs, and medical. If your on disability or welfare all your medical costs and prescriptions are covered.

My final bitch - Prescriptions: I have prescriptions that far exceed what i earn. I obviously dont fill them. They would probably total about $20,000 per year. I only spend about $1,000- It keeps me breathing at least.
