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.

I think that while it is a good idea, people who don't often go to the hospital aren't paying for their own hospital stays but for others and while that is ok, I think that people should be able to opt out and if they do then they pay for their own hospital fees.

Support an affordable public option.

@75KRFBJ5yrs5Y
Yes, but allow people to use private insurance; use a system similar to Social Security, where everyone pays into it and can use it
@7RGBCQB5yrs5Y
No, but the system should be mostly single payer but states should be able to allow private clinics to do elective surgeries and procedures to elevate wait times.
@8BXNXCH5yrs5Y
It all depends on how much it is and if it's too expensive then I will not support it.
