The same way that it works now? The unit is for rent, you take an appointment and the first person that qualifies get it.

This is not the gotcha you think it is. What so different than the current system?

That's some alternative reality, you're talking about. My government does try, and succeeds in bleeding every last penny that I earn.

Those are called taxes. We need those.
