Although the monthly stipend would give individuals more control over how they receive and spend aid, it wouldn’t be robust enough to cover basic expenses, Rothstein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that would amount to is really dramatically reducing the standard of living of the elderly and disabled in order to finance a transfer to prime-age, healthy people,” he said. “There’s no way that an elderly person is going to be able to buy decent health insurance on the private market with that $1,000 a month UBI [Universal Basic Income] and still be able to have any money left over for anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many supporters say basic income should be an addition to the current safety net, not a replacement for it.
