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.
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
Yes, private companies should not be able to profit off of healthcare
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
Yes, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone
@ISIDEWITH4yrs
Yes, but allow people to use private insurance
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, the government should not be involved in healthcare
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, this system is too expensive
@95LCGPT5mos
Yes,but only if there is a policy of nationalization.
@98ZGJ877hrs
No, we should have a healthcare system based on choice and competition.
@98XTG9V3 days
No, and all healthcare should be privatized
@98XT2ML3 days
No, Federal law largely prevents states from regulating employer-provided health insurance, so states can't just stop employers from offering their own health care benefits.
Yes, but also allow a payer to be added on if there is such an instance where the single payer cannot handle the bill.
@98V7KG51wk
Yes, as long as it doesn't decrease access to care already available currently and doesn't mirror the Canadian medical system or the VHA.
@98TXTY91wk
The system wouldn’t work in this current climate and also has to many flaws.
@98TMLNP1wk
Universal health care covers more of the population.
@98TGWSJ1wk
Healthcare should be left up to state governments.
No, have each state start their own marketplace and negotiate with private insurance companies to create plans
@98S48352wks
no this increases already long enough wait times too much in hospitals
@98RSL5B2wks
There should be a cap on cost of basic medical care.
@98RMKBY2wks
I honestly know nothing about this.
Yes, as long as one receives quality healthcare, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone
@98R6K6Q2wks
If you use government-provided healthcare you pay taxes for it. If private insurance is used then the taxes do not have to be paid.
@98QZ73T2wks
Yes IF Congress is on the same system. As soon as you have a system for the masses and one for the "elite", it will not work
@98QPMNP2wks
Yes but make it less expensive.
the government should not go through private companies, but people can chose them if they wish for better service than what the government provides.
@98Q4NS72wks
Yes, but allow people to use private insurance and make it illegal for health care workers to take off on the holiday's unless it's an emergency
No, people of lower income will not be able to pay for everyone and you don't get to choose a provider.
@98Q4JX72wks
No, the government should only be involved when private companies are behaving with criminal intent.
@96DGZ5L3wks
Yes, but it needs to begin with a public option system to build up the necessary infrastructure and bureaucracy for such a program.
Only for mental healthcare, leave physical healthcare in the hands of the free market.
@98P77ZP3wks
No regulate the industry and set limits for the amount a provider can charge for a product or service.
I think healthcare should be abolished
@98NTNQP3wks
No; the privatization of healthcare drives innovation leading to better quality care. However, healthcare should be less expensive and there should be caps on medication and hospital costs
@98NFGLV3wks
Depends on how it works
@98N3MDQ3wks
No , but minimize the payers
@98MRMM43wks
The government should have a bigger role in providing healthcare to all citizens, especially ones who can't afford it.
The government should be able to fund the universal health system not the citizens as we pay too much already. To do this, the government can defund military projects and other outdated systems.
@98L3CZB4wks
Yes, but only for basic internal medicine and life saving drugs. Surgery and specialist doctors should not be upheld by government institutions. A free market provides improved services.
@98KPG5F4wks
Yes, but it should be decentralized and states should operate and maintain these systems
@98KBNPP4wks
I support a universal healthcare system where private companies and individuals can't profit from.
@98HXJF41mo
Yes, eventually, in the meantime introduce a public option
No, government shouldn’t be involved in healthcare. Government shouldn’t be paid, lower cost.
@98HHWN61mo
No, but I think a form of universal Healthcare is needed.
@98HB7K61mo
No, but instead use a voucher system.
@98H8SLV1mo
Yes, but allow people to use private insurance and subsidize the medicine companies
State by state decisions in most scenarios
@98GPDYB1mo
No, I support universal healthcare but it should be decentralized
@98GN5LM1mo
Yes, but require people to use private insurance if they can
