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.

Healthcare should be a right to all people. Yes, ALL people.
@6WVZ888 8mos8MO
I would prefer a unique system that combines the best of Germanys model, Singapores, and with existing versions of our own.
@GuitarLord25Progressive 11mos11MO
Yes, for-profit health care is burdensome on the tax payer, bureaucratic, and is the main culprit for America's declining life expectancy.
Yes, but permit people to use private insurance in specific cases. Also, states should be able to allow private government-approved clinics to carry out elective surgeries and procedures to reduce wait times and improve efficiency.
@9GH88XG2yrs2Y
I think only people with a certain income should be part of this, some middle class and lower class families already struggle with taxes and should not have to struggle more. Some can't even pay for their own medical care.
I do not know what a single-payer healthcare system is so I don't have an opinion on this
@93CBK9V3yrs3Y
No, instead decrease healthcare costs by eliminating corruption and increasing competition and price transparency
@92DK3NC3yrs3Y
No, but the United States healthcare system should become a universal system fully funded by the government. No American should ever have to choose between life saving care or rent.
@8YPD9723yrs3Y
Privatized Healthcare is a mistake.
@8YBNPRH3yrs3Y
No, there should be free healthcare for all.
@8Y4SBQB3yrs3Y
Yes, and we should fund it through current health programs and cutting Medical Care Costs.
@8WR8B2B4yrs4Y
increase government funds but state government control policies pertaining their citizens
I support Universal Healthcare, but Single-Payer is still better than what we have currently
Yes, but it should be less expensive
@8VL5LC84yrs4Y
Every citizen should NOT have to pay the government for basic healthcare.
@8VGB6DQIndependent4yrs4Y
I need to educate myself more on the issue before I decide
@8V7WNQZ4yrs4Y
I think there should be a Single-payer health care system, however I don't think private healthcare systems should be banned or anything.
It should be optional to choose which way they want to pay
@8V2VXGZ4yrs4Y
Doesn’t matter to me honestly
@TheRollslapperDemocrat4yrs4Y
Yes, however a public option is an acceptable compromise.
@8TKMJXN4yrs4Y
Yes, and expand social services provided by the government to help low income individuals.
@8TDRTYV4yrs4Y
I think yes but I think they are beter sistums of free heathcare
@8T3B7GHProgressive4yrs4Y
Yes, if people are willing to eat healthily and exercise, therefore making the system cost effective
It should be free completely and capitalism should be abolished.
@8SRZ4Z24yrs4Y
no one should be able to profit off of healthcare
@8SBB96KLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, but how much you pay should be based on income, like an 80/20 split type of deal.
No, nobody should ever need to pay at all for healthcare
@8SH4QPF4yrs4Y
Yes, but pay should depend on the income of the citizen.
@8RXCVR64yrs4Y
@8RGD8XV4yrs4Y
Do not know enough to have a stance
@8QBWWY34yrs4Y
I am uninformed and can’t give an opinion.
@8PZ2MYT4yrs4Y
People should have the choice to private or government health insurance.
@8PXXQBG4yrs4Y
No payments, free healthcare for all
@shoetoad4yrs4Y
government should be involved in healthcare
@8PQJDVW4yrs4Y
I dont understand what the question means
@8LXP29J5yrs5Y
I support Medicare for All
Yes, but allow people to use private insurance for now (until a public option proves the viability of a government healthcare plan)
@8JZ22SF5yrs5Y
No, but healthcare should be controlled more by the government to reduce the cost of healthcare. There should also be a public option.
@8GR8V2R5yrs5Y
I don't have a stance on it
@8F7SG5M5yrs5Y
Just have universal healthcare.
@8DX8N6WIndependent5yrs5Y
Yes but people shouldn’t have to pay the government for healthcare
@8DN5FJD5yrs5Y
I believe that all should have free healthcare.

The government should provide free healthcare for the betterment of the average citizen.
@8D95CBV5yrs5Y
Have universal basic healthcare but be able to purchase extra insurance
@8CXS8XT5yrs5Y

No, we should have free healthcare for everyone
@8DGTLZM5yrs5Y
No, but allow people to do otherwise
Yes, but a public healthcare system would be better
@8P6PWZP4yrs4Y
Yes, and the entire healthcare and pharmaceutical industry should be nationalized.
@8QVKJQM4yrs4Y
Sure, but I am open to other alternatives to expand coverage to every American.
No, butt allow people to do otherwise
