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.

Yes, for those who do not carry private insurance. If those wothout insurance do not pay some health taxes then they will drive up prices for the rest.
@935CG4PLiberal Democrat 4mos4MO
Yes, but people over the age of retirement will only be eligible for healthcare subsidies equal to the total sum of tax paid
@9D7PS339mos9MO
The whole system needs to be rebuilt
@92WFW3TOne Nation2yrs2Y
Yes, but make monthly payments more affordable for everyone to pay
@92KRJL82yrs2Y
No healthcare should be free for all
@92FWGBJ2yrs2Y
This is good if the government can guarantee the reasonable waiting time otherwise it will be useless
@92DKHTJLiberal Democrat2yrs2Y
No, this system is too expensive & No, the government should not be involved in healthcare.
@9353BBF2yrs2Y
Hybrid health/dental care system; deliver access to comprehensive, free, public health/dental care services, but also allow for the engagement of private health insurance.
@932HQ882yrs2Y
Yes, but payments should be split equitably between citizens
@92ZDPT62yrs2Y
yes,but only to those of middle and lower incomes
No, purely for the fact that I cannot see how, in Clown Town that is AusPol, there is any wisdom in this system when theres a party spill every other year and frequent 'wrecking ball' politics tactics. Basically I'm unsure as to how this won't eithe rbe weaponised or perverted.
free healthcare for everyone
I dont understand what a single-payer health system is
@92Y7S8S2yrs2Y
Medicare. Everyone gets treated for free. The wealthy pay a levy.
Don’t know enough about this subject
@8VCTCJ3Liberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Yes, but scale back the size of it
Healthcare should be free for citizens and permanent residents
@8JLGJ3S4yrs4Y
Healthcare should be affordable for everyone
@8RJNF2Q3yrs3Y
Yes, but not including elective surgery, gender change and abortion after 3 months
@8LM6G9C3yrs3Y
It would be ideal for everyone to receive healthcare covered by the government, however this creates the issue of HUGE waiting lists which also is a problem. So I believe the best solution is for it to remain the same
@8LBNBCC3yrs3Y
I don't understand enough about this to answer.
@8JVDMP24yrs4Y
We need a baseline egalitarian system as a baseline with those that can afford to pay more to be able to do so in a free market
@8D2H6GM4yrs4Y
@993JBF81yr1Y
There is no such thing. Many people pay for the health system. We should ensure that that we have a base level of care for all citizenry and the system although never perfect is working reasonably well but there are always improvements to be made.
