Nothing is in place to stop basic income from causing housing prices to raise, and is one of the reasons we have food stamps and medicare instead of basic income.

Aside from any concerns about your basic premise, I think you've confused Medicare (the old-age/disability medical insurance system funded by payroll taxes) with Medicaid (the medical insurance system for the poor funded by general funds).

Definitely. Thank you for pointing that out that difference.
