What’s “single payer healthcare”?

[–] NotSteve_ 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

It's a form of socialised healthcare where the government negotiates the prices with medical companies. The government of an entire country negotiating prices carries way more bargaining power than individuals so it means the prices are much lower. Combine that with taxes paying for healthcare and you have a nice healthcare system

Edit: in some cases it's just one guy paying, in this case it's Alan: https://www.thebeaverton.com/2017/08/poll-canadians-love-single-payer-healthcare-except-alan-single-payer/

Apparently it allows you jump out of windows onto a pile of mattresses.

Can you elaborate more on what “it” is though?

Single payer is a system where healthcare is paid for a single public authority, not private and not a combination of both.
