Very clever analogy.  

I believe that the US poor should have a Guaranteed Annual Income so that they can access the best medical system in the world, as well as all the other products of the private sector. 

The health sector gets all the attention but the poor, like all of us need food and clothing and housing, etc, etc. It makes no sense to provide for only one part of  persons life. If health is to be funded why not clothing, etc.? 

A Guaranteed Annual Income would treat the poor as whole people. 

There is so much provided by the private sector with seldom delays or shortages that I cannot believe it won't work for health care - affordable health care.
