Out of the Washington Post, Charles Murray writes A Guaranteed Income for Every American to emphasize that the universal basic income is a great idea for today’s society. Murray claims that if this bill was to be passed then there would be no poverty, such as everyone above the age of 21, upon some certain circumstances would receive a check in the mail every month for just being a citizen. This could solve the issues of people having their jobs lost forcefully, and not being able to provide for their loved ones or even themselves.

There were several issues regarding welfare termination and even eventually job searching becoming more difficult. This would include job being replaced by technologies and Medicare, Medicaid, social security, and even food stamps would be vanished from society. Out of the National Review company Oran Cass argues that, “Anyone left to rely on the UBI would be unable to afford both Medicare-quality insurance and other essentials” (para 31). In making this comment, Cass urges us to forbid the UBI from making its stand in the world because of the damage it could do in the long run. If it is costing people more money without Medicare than with it, they do not want to associate with the UBI. Furthermore, x claims, “Murray’s plan, having eliminated Medicaid, would explicitly require her to spend at least $3,000 on health insurance.

It would not be much harm if the welfare system would be lost, because it is only hurting a big percentage of the world that are working to pay for others’ lives. In relation to not having a job, our recent local hospital where I live was shutting down due to a new company’s money management. Many managers were forced to fire their employees due to the fact they didn’t even have enough money to pay the workers causing, maintenance, therapy, nurses, cafeterians, housekeeping, and other agencies under their contract. Over half of the hospital had been working there all their life. Not only did I see the suffering of others but in my own family I saw struggles, my mom and her employees had to quit their home health agency because the company from corporate could not pay them. My sister-in law was fired from the therapy program, my boyfriend left before getting fire, and many other family members and friends lost their jobs due to money. So, in that saying, the UBI could solve both issues of those who have
