Yes

 @9FFKSZ7 from New Mexico agreed…6mos6MO

The problem with American Healthcare is scalability. We cannot scale multiple complex programs. If the people want state Healthcare we can at least work to make it efficient, streamlined, and scaled to the larger population of the United States.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

Yes, private companies should not be able to profit off of healthcare

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

No, the government should not be involved in healthcare

 @9FFKSZ7 from New Mexico disagreed…6mos6MO

A single payer system would reduce complexity, bureaucracy, and recipient effort. If a single payer system could eliminate Medicare, Medicade, and Obama care it would eliminate three overlapping and complex Healthcare systems that cost the united States a huge amount of time and effort to manage.

 @9F9XD5MDemocrat from California disagreed…7mos7MO

The United States has forgotten the working class in favor of corporate big healthcare lobbyists. Is it a shame that the highest healthcare spender in the world also charge their citizens the most. This isn't freedom, it’s slavery to financial institutions when healthcare costs overwhelm the average American.

 @9FG8DXDIndependentdisagreed…6mos6MO

almost all of the nations that we consider to be allies have a system of government provided healthcare it shouldn't cost so much to not die.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

No, this system is too expensive

 @9G3799J from Maryland disagreed…6mos6MO

In general, more people are in lower socioeconomic statuses. This leads to a greater majority agreeing the system is good and not too expensive (evidently, they're the benefiters).

Yes, and enact a single-payer Medicare for All system that provides free queer sexual health and gender affirming healthcare, including HIV care, PrEP, fertilty treatments, birth control, abortion care, mental health care, hormone replacement therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries

  @TruthHurts101 from Washington disagreed…9mos9MO

No, abolish Medicare and ban gender transitions and punish doctors who do them with revoking their medical license and 12 months in prison

Yes, but allow certain state-based government-approved and regulated private clinics to carry out elective surgeries and treatments to improve efficiency and reduce wait times

 @9G9C49K from North Carolina answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but allow certain state-based government-approved private clinics to carry out elective treatments or procedures to reduce wait times and improve efficiency

 @8C6DHH6from Washington answered…4yrs4Y

Do what Germany does. Good mix of public and private.

 @8XY5BRP from Nevada commented…2yrs2Y

Finally a republican I can agree with, most republicans think everything is communist.

 @9GZDTYYIndependent from Maryland answered…4mos4MO

Yes, I support a single-payer healthcare system, however I understand from people involved in the medical field that I've heard talk about healthcare reform that healthcare has become so convoluted for so many reasons that such a reformation is practically impossible. Because of that, I think it would be better to use what powers to government does have, such as stuff that could be defended under the Commerce Clause, in order to reduce insurance rates so that healthcare insurance is more widely available.

 @9GRXNZCRepublican from North Carolina answered…5mos5MO

NO, we should completely deregulate the healthcare industry and allow insurance companies to work outside of individual states and even the country. Our insurance should be able to make deals with doctors and pharmaceutical companies in other countries. The only regulations should be breaking up relationships between big pharma and the insurance companies.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas disagreed…5mos5MO

 @8TYH38SIndependent from Texas answered…1yr1Y

No, but private health insurance should be required for all citizens residing in the United States and require private health insurance companies to be non-profit.

 @94J3V83 from Ohio answered…2yrs2Y

No, This system will be more costly, and the waiting list will be longer

 @8WHKCPY from Michigan answered…2yrs2Y

Until healthcare costs are lowered, healthcare coverage will be overpriced.

 @8W2LCT8Democrat from Oklahoma answered…3yrs3Y

No, medical billing and insurance reimbursements should be transparent with an upfront single price medical bill for treatment. The uninsured should not have to pay more than the insured. Simplify costs and simplify billing to reduce the massive overhead costs of medical insurance.

 @9FQJK9P from Nevada answered…6mos6MO

Everybody agrees that our current system is broken. I'd personally support a single payer option if it was shown that one could be practically and realistically implemented in the US. I've seen no evidence that one could so far, so I as of right now believe that deregulation to increase competition and drive down costs is the best option.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…6mos6MO

Here's a report from the American Public Health Association outlining the necessity and significant benefits of a single-payer system: https://www.apha.org/Policies-and-Advocacy/Public-Health-Policy-Statements/Policy-Database/2022/01/07/Adopting-a-Single-Payer-Health-System .

Additionally, there are countless studies that are easily accessible from a plethora of reputable health and economic sources that all show resounding evidence and support in favor of a single-payer healthcare system in the US. There have been numerous studies and models and programs that have been tested and proposed over the years that would demonstrate a working single-payer system that not only offers increased healthcare access and positive outcomes, but also saves us moneyRead more

Yes, Americans don’t even know what universal health care is. I agree with it but if you want private healthcare as well you should also have it.
