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.

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.

Yes, but allow people to opt in or opt out and choose a different plan, and or pay for service elsewhere if desired.

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.
