I think it is very important to make those financial comparisons based on the period of time over which the person has the need. In other words, if the need is for a three-year period while they're in rehabilitation, look at how well supported they are over that period of need. Comparing how much money they get over a lifetime simply demonstrates that the new program is different from the old. Of course it is; it was designed to be different. So what you're comparing is important.
