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.
@935CG4P 9mos9MO
Yes, but people over the age of retirement will only be eligible for healthcare subsidies equal to the total sum of tax paid
