1NC--- Insufficient---Take Out

A UBI that doesn’t include free college tuition or free heath care would make capitalism worse

Sculos ’18 -- Dr. Bryant William Sculos holds a PhD in political theory and international relations(“Socialism & Universal Basic Income” , Class, Race and Corporate Power, Volume 6 Issue 1 Article 9, Florida International University, https://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1120&context=classracecorporatepower///jrc)

3 However, simply because not all UBI programs are worth supporting, does not mean that there are not thick or expansive conceptions of UBI that absolutely are. An example of a conception of UBI that socialists should support would be one that is—as the acronym requires—universal and also set at or above subsistence. This means that all people, regardless of their ability or willingness to work, would at least be much more likely to live a life without lacking any fundamental necessities. A subsistence (or higher) UBI would likely only be able to achieve the goal of eradicating extreme poverty if it was also combined with a universal health care and tuition-free public higher education system. If the poor still had to pay or go into massive debt to afford basic health care and education, a subsistence UBI would be nearly functionally irrelevant—or worse.
