I don't get how one person on this experiment would receive the same amount as a couple with one person on ODSP gets? and if the spouse of the disabled person (who is also performing personal support/care taking for the disabled person) works, the ODSP benefits get clawed back 50%. If you need flexible hours for taking care of someone, it means you can't improve your life situation - you're stuck with minimum wage jobs and temp work. The Precarious employment trap. Think about working for $5.70/hr when someone needs you at home. And not all medicines are covered. I do find it interesting that a guaranteed income has been a Green Party policy for a long time. What we should be trying for is to help people who want to escape poverty and work or improve their employability, rather than put disincentives in their way.
