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.

Dependant on the health condition. Lower taxes, privatised healthcare but regulate private health care.
@9N828251wk1W
Yes as long as it’s affordable and should only be applicable to people who earn over a certain income. Things like this could cause more issues for low income families
@8YV2VLS2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be means tested and people should be able to use private insurance.
