For a country that doesn't believe (in big enough numbers) about providing universal health care to all, a country that has some of the lowest welfare provision

For a country that doesn't believe (in big enough numbers) about providing universal health care to all, a country that has some of the lowest welfare provisions in the developed world, I don't see how it would ever come about to go for UBI.
Are all these discussions just academic or is it a real posibility? As I just don't see it every happening and certainly not in the US - ever
- wmf 9y agoYeah, if the US wanted to become Sweden it seems like we would have done it already. But the article is an interesting counterpoint to arguments that there literally isn't enough money to be found to pay for basic income.
