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.

@94HN4LG3yrs3Y
No, but I do support a different system of universal healthcare
@8X7KHC84yrs4Y
I am uncertain of what a single-payer healthcare system is
healthcare is just too expensive
@8X797B94yrs4Y
i think this could be helpful for people in certain situations but it would cause things like tax raises and poorer treatment methods
@8WYNJSS4yrs4Y
@8WSR8XB4yrs4Y
Private ensurance companies can continue to support patients

I support a mix of both private and public healthcare

I don't have an opinion on this matter.
