Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'single-payer'

A healthcare financing system where one entity—typically the government—collects funds and pays for healthcare costs for an entire population. Single-payer systems aim to provide universal coverage while controlling costs through consolidated purchasing power and administrative simplification. In alternate history scenarios, the adoption or rejection of single-payer healthcare often represents divergent paths in a nation's approach to social welfare and economic policy.
