Do you support a single-payer healthcare system?
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.
I would support a single-payer system in healthcare only if it would not become as expensive as in the UK or Canada. I believe that everyone deserves the right to quality healthcare, be it public or private.
@9FMZP8H6mos6MO
Yes but only for Indian citizens
@9238ZFJIndependent2yrs2Y
No, but regulate private insurance to make them non-profit and have a parallel government insurance program for those who are ineligible for private insurance
@8QM3R533yrs3Y
The tax money coming from the citizens should be rightly used to provide healthcare for all irrespective of gender, health issues, age and income
@8PXDFDV3yrs3Y
Public option for poor people and low income families and Private option for middle class and rich
Regulation with respect to incomes
@8TC39WHIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone, but allow people to use private insurance
@8RPP46D3yrs3Y
No, the healthcare should be free and fair for all ,and should be of high quality and care
Both Private and Government involvement should be there
@8R4SHD53yrs3Y
No, both government and private players should be there
@94267X22yrs2Y
Maybe at the state level if private health Insurance is still allowed
@93VVP972yrs2Y
No, but implement a public/private healthcare system
@7GQVY6F2yrs2Y
Support an affordable public option.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but give every citizen an allowanced health savings account
@8TMFV7P2yrs2Y
Yes, but also open the market so private insurance can compete across state lines
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
No, I support this concept, however it would only work in countries that are much smaller compared with America such as Canada, Britain, and a few others and keep in mind, if there is a single payer healthcare system, there will be a waitlist and the quality of healthcare will be removed. Singe payer healthcare systems are a good idea in small countries, but unrealistic in America since the country is too big to support everyone without any extreme compromises that sacrifice quality.
@8QQ5NLZ2yrs2Y
Yes, but a public healthcare system would be better
@michaelconnely2yrs2Y
Our entire health care system is corrupt and needs restructured.
@8ZSR5NL2yrs2Y
No, I am all for universal healthcare, but I'd prefer a two-tier system that allows both private (highly regulated) and public healthcare (with more government funding) to ensure quality of care and services, along with government step-in to control the prices of drugs.

No, I support universal healthcare for all citizens, but I would prefer a two-tier system that allows both private (but regulated) and public healthcare (with a right amount of government funding) to ensure high-quality care and services, so people can make a choice for which they would prefer.
@8ZVRJ7S2yrs2Y
Yes, if it is not centralized but a decentralized model like Scotland or Sweden.
@8ZTRX222yrs2Y
No, but not completely because I think thier should be a government chaos fund which would pay for severe conditions (cancer).
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, I support universal healthcare for all citizens, but I would prefer a multi-payer system that allows both private and public healthcare (with a right amount of government funding) in order to provide better care and services, so people can make a choice for which they would prefer.
@ThomasJ4762yrs2Y
Yes, but allow the option of private care.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, I support universal healthcare for everyone but I would prefer a two-tier/multi-payer system instead.
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, but people should be allowed to opt out.
@8ZGJXBM2yrs2Y
yes, but only if needed.
@8XVVHDP2yrs2Y
No, the entire healthcare system should be privatized
@8Z6D7QZ2yrs2Y
No, while governmental healthcare should still be available citizens should have a choice in their healthcare provider.
@6VFYRRC2yrs2Y
It's really complicated and confusing.
@5GHSCDS2yrs2Y
No, and each state should decide their own level of coverage
@ThomasJj882yrs2Y
Yes, free healthcare for all citizens while also allowing the option of private care.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, basic healthcare for all citizens but allow private care to be available for those who want to pay extra.
@7THPXS92yrs2Y
No, though I would support a federally supported healthcare act allowing for annual PCP visits to all citizens.
@4P355J92yrs2Y
No, but businesses should not provide health insurance for their employees. It should be a direct market with consumers, who can select a public or private option with the company of their choice.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, I support universal healthcare but I prefer a multi-payer system (a mix of private and publicly-funded healthcare).
Deleted2yrs2Y
Basic healthcare for all citizens while also having private care an option for those who want to pay.
@6VWJ8PP2yrs2Y
No but strengthen the exchanges and add a public option
@87V5TYY2yrs2Y
No, centralize and streamline the current system instead
@87V5TYY2yrs2Y
No, improve the current system and work to minimize costs
@88NZKDZ2yrs2Y
Yes, private companies shouldn't be able to profit off of healthcare, but it should be a syndicated consumer cooperative system where people vote on a basic plan and personalize it as they want to (whicn can include paying more for better benefits)
@8Y2TFS52yrs2Y
No, Obamacare should be fixed because it has already shown to have great potential.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, there should be a mix of private system that coexists within a public system to ensure quality of care and incentives for doctors, so people can choose which system they want. Otherwise, we should also decrease costs of healthcare and help provide for those who are low-income and the medically needy.
@thomasjj02yrs2Y
