what's single-payer health insurance?

[โ€“] Empricorn@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I should have said single-payer healthcare, but:

Single-payer healthcare is a type of universal healthcare in which the costs of essential healthcare for all residents are covered by a single public system (hence "single-payer")

Within single-payer healthcare systems, a single government or government-related source pays for all covered healthcare services. Governments use this strategy to achieve several goals, including universal healthcare, decreased economic burden of health care, and improved health outcomes for the population.
