UBI is basic income. What you describe will not bring working people basic housing and basic food. Pensions and unemployment incomes are only a small part of population, you will need to pay everyone.

Taking money from healthcare and putting it in my pocket so I have to pay for it myself doesn't bring me much income you know.

Yes, it is clear that universal basic income means everyone gets it. If my post wasn't clear, it should be now. Thanks.
