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. The results of a 2020 Pew Research Study show there’s an increase in people saying health insurance should be provided by a single, national program.

We’ll look at whether single-payer health care is possible in the U.S.
