Would people still keep working forty hour weeks if we socialize medical care , housing and the internet?

If it didn't cost your whole salary to live, What keeps you working? Do people live even if there's no job to keep them busy?

This is bait.

But...let me ask you this: Your question assumes the desired state is to be working. Why so? Who does it benefit? What's the merit of working for working's sake? Are there higher pursuits than working? Why would everyone's dial be set the same for feeling 'busy?'
@Graylight It definitely does play into the very dated protestant work ethic trope.
