'Health insurance is great, but groceries are necessary too': Dave Chappelle champions Andrew Yang's Universal Basic Income at Iowa appearance

"You take a poll in Dayton and say what would you rather have, $12,000 a year or health insurance? Everyone's taking the money," Chappelle, who lives near the Ohio city, said. "Health insurance is great, but groceries are necessary too."

He went on: "People in Dayton are having a hard time getting the things they need. I started imagining what a universal basic income would do for my community, and it would save it almost instantly."

Chappelle noted that one out of three Dayton residents now live below the poverty line and it's currently dealing with gun violence and the fallout of the opioid crisis.

And he believes that Yang's "Freedom Dividend" proposal to guarantee payments of $1,000 a month — or $12,000 a year — to every US citizen over 18 years old, would restore choice in people's lives.

"I like the idea of giving people choices, putting money in their hands and giving them the choice, Chappelle said. "They would consider things that aren't even an option to consider now."
