I share your skepticism that it can get done in the US any time soon. We can't even get people to wear masks during a pandemic.

The article in question is about Finland, where healthcare is already universal, largely free, and much liked by the populace.

That's totally fair. I am looking at this through a very US-centric lens, but I'd guess many HN readers are, and certainly Yang's tech supporters were. To also be fair, the user we are talking about doesn't appear to be Finnish or is the study in question true UBI. But that's all pedantic. :)
