It might not be a good idea to put a dollar value on lives, but considering <1%-5% of cases require hospitalization the cost of subsidizing lower income workers is incredibly higher even at $40,000 a patient.

With something like UBI calibrated between $1-2K/mo, a worker could make the risk calculation themselves. Right now, low income workers don't have much of a choice, so are being forced to risk their health. UBI gives them an out.
