I want to talk about barriers, because I have a question about the medical certification that's required. First, though, let's say the government took the funding allocated to the tax credit, as though it was being claimed by everyone, and put that money towards a benefit. I imagine that would be a good start.
You talked about the burden on doctors and the cost associated with applying. Obviously, that's a problem. We heard from doctors about that and how awful the form is to fill out.
That said, what do we replace it with? The public demands accountability, and sometimes that ends up hurting people with disabilities. It can be a problem if people no longer feel that only those who deserve the benefit are getting it.
Instead of the medical certification and the forms doctors have to fill out, what do we use? What is the alternative?
