Sleeping the whole day is an interesting metaphor for living off of charity or being homeless, two demographics notorious for being unhappier than the working population on average. Did you choose it because spending whole days in bed is a classic symptom of depression,the illness that makes one unhappier than the average employee? I'm not sure transfering money from the later to the former would correct the inequality between their respective qualities of life, so I wouldn't call that equality, no.
The article alleged they weren't going to work with her if they deemed her at risk of trying to take her life again. I think it's anyone's guess what is going on in her mind, given that expressing any doubt her is worth living would result in future refusals to help (such as in the event her body rejects this face).
As someone who sincerely has every intention of "being strong", my current behavior is indistinguishable from the times I was pretending to be strong due to the huge cost of behaving otherwise.
I'm able to do some types of work, even though all my attempts so far have been torturous for me and subpar for the employers.
And I'm certainly able to work according to society, in particular the doctors who have found me mentally and physically healthy.
And yet instead of working, I'm taking resources away from others while contributing nothing. I consider this a better ethical outcome than making my life even more intolerable in the name of fairness. I would vote for a feasible basic income in a heartbeat.
I'd also vote for legalising suicide as an arguably more moral alternative to both leeching off of society and living lives not worth living.
Anyone outraged by the prospect of paying for others' laziness has yet to agree with me that forcing people to contribute to society while depriving them of legal access to safe and comfortable means of exiting society is unfair, too.
