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.

People should have to pay to make an appointment at a doctors surgery. If they attend, refund. If they don't, charge
@9J9XNQJ1yr1Y
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.
@8SKLDCQ4yrs4Y
