A right-wing think tank is now supporting Universal Basic Income - but they’ve missed the point
2018
Overview
Once implemented, for example, it is easy to imagine a scenario in which leading conservative politicians and think tanks would argue that individuals will now have the “economic autonomy” with which to meet their own individual health care needs, resulting in a rapid withdrawal of funding for the NHS and social welfare, and the implementation of a US-style healthcare system. While a “basic” individual health care insurance policy might be affordable and calculated into a UBI payment, a traumatic life-changing injury or disease would push the burden of responsibility back onto the individual with no social safety net for protection beyond their personal payments. More specifically - it needs to be more comprehensive regarding how it takes care of the necessities of life. [...]we should welcome the proposal for “Universal Basic Services“ that researchers at UCL put out a few months ago.
