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.

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.
@9KFBDW32mos2MO
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.
