Interesting article, I hadn't considered the potential impact of health policy on UBI, there may be some merit in that line of reasoning.
That said, I don't agree with the whole article, especially the part about government enabling companies to cut wages. If people can survive without a job, companies are going to have to make it worthwhile to take up a job with them. So long as people keep their financial commitments low they'll be better placed to negotiate a better starting salary.
