Single-payer healthcare

Single-payer healthcare is a type of universal healthcare,[1] in which the costs of essential healthcare for all residents are covered by a single public system (hence "single-payer").[2][3] Single-payer systems may contract for healthcare services from private organizations (as is the case in Canada) or may own and employ healthcare resources and personnel (as is the case in the United Kingdom). "Single-payer" describes the mechanism by which healthcare is paid for by a single public authority, not a private authority, nor a mix of both.[4][5]
