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.
@8XZC2RV2yrs2Y
no, the Canadian government is too ineffective to maintain such a system.
@9L2P5YG4wks4W
Yes but up to a point. It should not extract too much money. Higher costs such as for ore severe injuries(MRI, Major X-Rays) should not be covered since they happen rarely. There should be a program for people who have these but are unable to pay. A loan with no insurance and only a +10% cost when returning the loan. Also government should make price for drugs the same for everyone and everywhere. I don't support high priced private institutions. Government should provide the drugs at the same cost for everyone.
@9KFBDW3Conservative2mos2MO
Yes, but allow people to opt in or opt out and choose a different plan, and or pay for service elsewhere if desired.
@9JC6BKV3mos3MO
The system isn't broken at the customer endpoint, it's further up the chain. This is an issue with first order thinking which will not fix the system.
@97YCH8R1yr1Y
@97WSTML1yr1Y
Don't really care on the matter
@97T5QSL1yr1Y
Yes, but only for low income individuals
@979LJBC1yr1Y
No but I think it should be ran by the private sector and the government sector
@966TZJF2yrs2Y
Yes, but healthcare would need to be incentivized or else shortage would occur.
@95SJ7542yrs2Y
No all heathcare should be free
@942M3262yrs2Y
Yes, this guarantees healthcare for everyone and companies should ba banned from profiting off of healthcare.
@93TM7X62yrs2Y
Yes, this will guarantee healthcare for everyone and private companies should not be able to profit off of healthcare.
@93HJWN4Conservative2yrs2Y
a change to private health care should be partially adopted.
@92868MF2yrs2Y
@8Z9SMSS2yrs2Y
No, but more government oversight needs to be made for private insurance companies as they are some of the biggest scum bags on the planet
@8YGJJCM2yrs2Y
No, I support 2-tier health care system
Both public and private! Mixed option is the best option. Give Canadians more choice!
@8VTQ7Q23yrs3Y
pending how costly it would be to the citizen, some may not be able to afford it if it's not a reduced price
@8VN69CCLibertarian3yrs3Y
We should keep universal healthcare but also offer a fast-lane private system for people in urgent need of medical care and need to see a specialist. The system would still be fair, but those who could afford to pay for private care could see a specialist as long as they could afford the service, rather than waiting in line.
@8VN22QD3yrs3Y
people who take care of themselves and are no burden to the health care system intentionally should be taken care of no questions asked. if you do ANYTHING excessively that intentionally compromises your health you should have to pay every cent out of your own pocket
@8VKNGNW3yrs3Y
Yes, but make it a two tier public/private system.
@8VHY7NC3yrs3Y
This question is convoluted and encompasses too many questions to be answered with ONE answer.
@8VH4ZRZ3yrs3Y
Don't really know what this is
@8VGTB9L3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if staffing and the ability to treat patients exist
I like what we have now but dentist should be included in healthcare
@8TWHVDZ3yrs3Y
No, 2 tier system is they way to go.
@8TRPMHX3yrs3Y
I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion
Yes, but the system of billing for doctors should be altered for everyone's benefit.
@8TNDXCT3yrs3Y
Yes, make profiting off of healthcare illegal and this will guarantee healthcare for everyone.
@8QFCQGTNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as the system offers quality care.
@8Q5CJW33yrs3Y
Yes, this will guarantee healthcare for everyone and companies should not profit off of healthcare
@8Q28BQH3yrs3Y
I dont understand the question
@8PYXCGL3yrs3Y
Yes, this will guarantee healthcare for everyone and no company should profit off of people's health. Ban private healthcare.
@8PXK8WV3yrs3Y
Yes this system guarantees healthcare for everyone and no company should profit off of healthcare
@8P9CY8Q3yrs3Y
I support universal healthcare, which guarantees healthcare for all, but not single-payer, which forces everybody into a state-run government healthcare system.
@8P6L6VZ3yrs3Y
everyone should have access to health care
@8L4XB3N3yrs3Y
this should exist along with optional private health care
@9GZYG4J5mos5MO
No, instead privatize healthcare and provide healthcare vouchers and healthcare tax credits for low income individual/families.
no helath system walk it off
@9FB68RG7mos7MO
No, a two-tiered system would be more effective.
@9F5KMPV7mos7MO
The federal government is the only one who should pay for health care. Everyone should get reliable fast health care no matter their income. No person should be able to use insurance to get priority health care.
@9F3BQD88mos8MO
I need more details on the proposal
I don't anything about healthcare.
@9CLJFYR10mos10MO
I am currently unsure of exactly how this system works, so I cannot say what my stance is.
@9C656B311mos11MO
Keep healthcare a provincial matter.
@9C63S7311mos11MO
Yes. But Give us the choice between Public or Private.
@9BP44CP12mos12MO
Yes, but services that cost under a certain amount should be the responsibility of the individual.
