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.
@8DQM4VP4yrs4Y
Yes, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone and the quality of healthcare should be increased
@9FJY7Z57mos7MO
Yes but dental healthcare should be included
@8GL7WXR4yrs4Y
It should be already included in our taxes to receive free healthcare
@9L4FNPW4wks4W
No, I beileve that we should have private hospital, if some people would like to use. This will most definitely release the pressure from public hospitals.
@9DDF9MD8mos8MO
free healthcare should stay
@93Y95K62yrs2Y
Current public healthcare should be improved
Yes i believe it should be part of the wage system but not at a high percentage and i believe that any foreigners coming to reside in our country should also pay lump sums with their visas like the UK.
@9FT9T8T7mos7MO
No but the government could donate a portion every year to fund that helps people with subsidised appointments and medication especially for people living below the median. Also could be used for people requiring dentistry.
@9FKCQGG7mos7MO
Holistic healthcare should be absolutely to everyone.
@9FCR4TBDemocracyNZ7mos7MO
i like the one we have now
We should stick with the current system however increase funding
@9DSF5Y88mos8MO
I’m unsure what this means
Need to understand more but aim for win win
@9DQFRWD8mos8MO
No, too expensive and not enough resources. Wait times will be long, quality of care potentially reduced
@9DMHH658mos8MO
Yes, but private insurance should be tax deductible
@9DCXFN38mos8MO
I do not understand the meaning of this question
@9DBK32CNew Zealand First8mos8MO
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
@9DB2FGJ8mos8MO
@9D45HVC9mos9MO
Should be free to everyone all the time
People should not be using emergency depts as a doctors first port of call. They are for emergencies only. But free decent healthcare should be available to anyone, the system just needs improvement.
yes as in NZ we already pay our Government for this in our Taxes but they dont allocate enough to Health.

Insurance and life being inc health professionals and paikah new Zealand limited and should ask a by inside and outside back vaccines
@96PN37G2yrs2Y
Yes but the situations/conditions/treatments funded should be very broad.
@95KSND52yrs2Y
No, people should be encouraged to make preventative health choices and those who do should reap the benefits both physically and financially.
@8HH9K324yrs4Y
Yes I agreed with this idea. However, I've doubt about how is this big lump sum of money collected being administrator.
@8GX5YBQ4yrs4Y
I like our current system.
Yes, healthcare should be funded/subsidised by the government.
@9FNFKFV7mos7MO
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.
@8CFM78N4yrs4Y
I support free public health care
@8BZF2GM4yrs4Y
As per the current situation is fine
@9F8GQ9BNew Zealand Loyal 7mos7MO
I havno idea what a single payer health care system is
@9FPG44R7mos7MO
Yes allow both but the a government provided health care system must be fit for purpose, well funded and supported with enough medical, nursing and technical staff, to future proof Nz’s growing needs
