Basic Income is a neo liberal proposal. It would allow, at a first moment, to politically privatize welfare and healthcare services, in places where otherwise there would exist universal care, to be in the hands of private institutions. This institutions could set expenses high enough and, thus, allocating from the basic income while providing low quality services. So, it's retrograde instead of a progressive thing.
