3. answers from oscar
1. free from personal "premium fees" as we have here for insurance. I presume.
As to taxes, taxes pay for it but who pays the tax? Could be the ultra rich only. Like here, before WW2.

2. The ninefifty dollars floor, ... i would think it is for

the recognition that humans need some security in their life. For paying for food and shelter.

Simply for being human in a world that recognizes the value of each human life. And recognizes that by chance, some will be buffeted by myriad adversities, while some by chance will get myriad lucky breaks. Those hit by adversities need an income floor.
