To a certain degree, the idea has been tried on Tribal reservations within the USA.

I don't see a lot of similarity there. It's hard to apply models what with all the variables. Same problem as with health care systems. Just because it works or fails in one place doesn't mean that it would do the same in another.

Which reminds me that I read somewhere the other day that Canada's health care system began in Saskatchewan in the forties, the point of the piece being that folks there had no previous health care system with vested interests so it was easier to install there at that time than it would be here and now. Then and there, anything was better than what they had before so it was well received.

Guaranteed income is being tried or considered in some European countries but they tend not to be great models because they are small and relatively homogeneous.
