- zanny 9y agoIf you strip out all the regulations in healthcare all it takes is one preexisting condition to make healthcare runaway expensive for a majority of people. Most UBI proposals include universal healthcare because healthcare is a problem best solved when everyone is in the "insurance pool" automatically. As long as the hippocratic oath exists and doctors have to provide life saving treatment it will always be in our macroeconomic self interest to incentivize people to seek healthcare before its life threatening.
