Single-payer healthcare is a system where every citizen pays the government to provide core healthcare services for all residents. Under this system the government may provide the care themselves or pay a private healthcare provider to do so. In a single-payer system all residents receive healthcare regardless of age, income or health status. Countries with single-payer healthcare systems include the U.K., Canada, Taiwan, Israel, France, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.

No, I support a "mixed-model" system where private funds are supplemented by public grants.
@5GHSCDS3yrs3Y
No, and each state should decide their own level of coverage
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as people can still use private and it doesn't raise our taxes.
@63ZXW6N3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as the other stuff is eliminated, people can still use private, and our tax is not over 20%.
@76WTH564yrs4Y
If it's in a smaller scale like local or state and local amd state choice, yes.
@8D5J4RR4yrs4Y
If a few conditions are met:
1. The system doesn't raise our national debt
2. If people don't use it as a way to get unhealthier and then just have the government pay for it
3. It removes the bureaucracy involved with normal healthcare
I'm guessing it wouldn't happen.
