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. Limiting healthcare funding to government (via public taxes) is expensive, and also limits the choice of the public. If a pt, does not want to wait for treatment of non-emergent conditions and can afford to do so, and service is available that can provide it, they should be able to do so thus lessening the pressure on public system. Single-payer healthcare system is good for emergent/life-threatening conditions, but should also encompass preventative health activities. There should also be tax incentives for performing healthy activities, instead of being reactionary to diseases. I think mixed funding (public and private) is beneficial only if balanced well.
