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.

If you have private healthcare insurance you should be expempt but similarly you should only be able to access healthcare on NHS if you pay NI
@9J9XNQJ3mos3MO
I support a voluntary payer healthcare system. In which the government would run the affairs of such a system, but all funding of which would come from voluntary payments of the people in question. If they don't pay, they can't access treatment. If the NHS is so great, lets put it to the test.
@9J499283mos3MO
Yes, but private hea lth care can egsist and provide private health care. However private companies can't profit off the NHS.
@9HJ5YWL5mos5MO
Privatize the healthcare and make in mandatory for everyone in the uk to have basic health insurance.
@9H4BWDH5mos5MO
No, however we should make the costs very low and the doctors should be trustworthy, unlike in the United States. And very low income people and the disabled should have free healthcare.
@9GYQQXV5mos5MO
To an extent, but not in is current form. Some services should be paid for and private medical insurance should be more affordable if NI was reduced.
