They article states it's $13k/year in cash. Not sure what the value of the medical benefits, but $13k/year would be pretty miserable on a family. I know someone who subsists basically on minimum wage and made just about $12k last year, he's still pretty young and healthy and is looking for a job that's better (has a degree), but he's spent a significant amount of time having to live with family/friends to get by. He's always on the lookout for $.99 taco night, but I think really at some point he'd like to get past that phase of life.

One could live like a king, experiencing great nature with all the time freed up, and have money left over. For medical, it's a safe bet that many of those on disability go to the emergency room and never pay a dime.
