The formulation of the question frames Social Security and Medicare as being mutually exclusive with a UBI.
UBI ought to replace things like food stamps and welfare. Not healthcare or retirement benefits!
I am a huge fan of UBI, and I would have voted "disagree" the way that question was framed.
A better formulation would be to frame UBI as an "automation dividend". Where we dip into increased efficiencies produced by automating labor to fund a basic income.
