But what would be done with people who can't work hard because they're ill or disabled? Are they just unfortunate because they're on the short side of the stick?

They'd be considered "poor" and have the same resources of basic food and housing.
Of course, there'll probably be system in place to help those with disabilities or disease with adequate help and health care..
it's not like philanthropy will vanish. In this future it'll just refocus on other things than food and shelter for the poor, since those are a given. So helping those with disabilities overcome them ( or... you know... fixing said disabilities.by the time we get to such a future as this, I'd be astonished if we couldnt fix nearly every handicap possible).
OK, thanks for clearing that up. At least the people who need it would be taken care of regarding most important needs. Interesting view. And you're right: it should be possible to heal anything in the future.
Don't just look at satisfying the poor guy. Take a hard look at what advantages the rich have and where does THAT end?
