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 but we need to fund it properly. NZ has been betrayed by both Lab and Nats who have not funded our health care system properly. Of course we should also allow private clinics for those who want that, so long as it isnt at the expense of the public system. Its shameful what we have now, but its not because it doesnt work, its because we have had decades of political leaders who have chosen not to fund the necessary investment in health care

No, the current insurance system is fine. If you want to you can get a private health insurance, which still ends up being cheaper than single-payer healthcare systems, germany being a prime example. The single-payer healthcare system there costs more per month for the poorest of poor people their than the acc and a good private insurance combined in NZ. If anything people should be educated to the values of acquiring an private insurance, but if people are still to silly to use the cheap system they have here shouldn't be a reason to make everyone especially the poor about 200 dollars poorer every month.
