I hear the same argument made about "free healthcare is too expensive" but it doesn't stop the vast majority of countries doing it.

You get amazing benefits from a government handling healthcare and I think you would get many of those with UBI.

UBI could work.

Link me the UBI proposal you find most compelling and I'll explain why the math doesn't work. Preferably a proposal for the US since I'm most familiar with existing benefits and entitlements in the US
