I suspect this wouldn't be cost of healthcare, but lost wages and things of that nature.
True in this case, but a part of healthcare should be making sure that a person receiving care doesn't loose their home in the process.
IMO, income and having a stable place to live shouldn't be so volatile that we need such assurances from the healthcare system.
Affordable housing, and UBI can easily make up the difference.
IMO, affordable housing should be a given, and UBI could simplify and reduce the overhead in many of our systems, such as unemployment insurance, welfare, disability, etc. The money saved in administrating all of those systems and replacing them with UBI could go towards making our healthcare suck a lot less.
