I agree with universal healthcare being separate from BI. I would also favor all of this being a kind of hybrid federal-local system. I'd also be receptive to having minimums. Like a minimum amount of basic healthcare (rather than unlimited). Also, for housing, give people a fair chance at finding a job wherever they got laid of from their previous longest term relevant job, but if they fail, move the resources to a more affordable area (after say, two years). Food, provide very basics (avoiding starvation) anything above these minimums would be covered by BI.

Why? Because some people will succumb to bad decisions and I'd rather the consequences be softened by a set of minimums.
