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.

Don’t know enough facts about this Complex issue.
@8Q7VBYD4yrs4Y
Yes, but only in a gradual and carefully managed transition from a private system. It is a massive industry, and this move would have a huge impact on jobs in addition to care.

No, but implement a public/private healthcare system

@6HQ4HQ54yrs4Y
No. Not only is the system way too expensive, but also drives down the quality of healthcare in the long run
@7GP32QV4yrs4Y
A one-size-fits-all system is never good for society. People take care of themselves and their health in different ways. We should have universal healthcare to help those who are disadvantaged, but at the same time, allow people to make their own medical and healthcare decisions

Yes, however allow private insurance. A one-size-fits-all system is never good for society. People take care of themselves and their health in different ways.

Mixed: I think that the federal government should provide basic healthcare but you should get a Catastrophic Health Insurance.
@8L9P7P34yrs4Y
Obamacare is fine, but a single-payer healthcare system is a bit too far. All in all, no.

I support universal healthcare for all
