Are you going to take the vaccine?

I was not excluding single-payer universal healthcare from what I said. I live in Canada. The issue is money.

We cannot fix it using any monetary schemes whatsoever.

One of the greatest modern achievement of STS is putting in place the false dichotomy of Capitalism and Socialism. Both are monetary schemes and will not solve the root issue. Yes a UBI is a socialism scheme, but is only a stopgap measure on the road to ditching money altogether.

Imagine living in the Star Trek universe. When you get up in the morning, how do you decide what you are going to do this day? You don't actually need to do anything. So you have to find something you think is worth doing. That could be meditating all day, painting, making music or helping advance tech in sectors you are interested in helping with, like healthcare for example. Your motives for doing so would only be to help by doing something you like doing. Motives like earning a living or making profits being a nightmarish thing of the past, barely comprehensible to those born in that moneyless society.

Interesting. Yes, the incentive has to be changed. The incentive to earn money blocks the more productive forms of incentives. Regarding a UBI I agree, it should only be a temporary transition tool.
