Single-payer health care

Single-payer health care is a system whereby one party, usually the government, pays for the health care of everyone. In practice this means that the government collects taxes from the public, businesses, etc., creates an entity to administer the supply of health care and then pays health care professionals – in effect this would replace the myriad of health care companies with just one government provider.Physiciansin genneral ae against this especially specialists as it would diminish private income.

Hybrid health care
Universal health care can be implemented without having the government pay for it in full, as in single-payer health care. Hybrid health care models emerged from efforts to reconcile the drive for expanded access and the drive against rising health care prices. This model is geared towards getting past the conflicts that have stymied universal health care efforts, such as whether the state or federal governments should take the lead, whether the primary jurisdiction for negotiating health care should be at the market or government level and whether health care is more of an individual or societal responsibility.

Private universal health care
After governments mandate universal health care, they often try to supply that health care. One alternative is to deregulate the industry, and allow the principles of capitalism to keep costs down and encourage innovation.
In short, universal health care can be implemented without wealth redistribution. For example, if the government mandates universal health care, instead of trying to control and ration health care, they could simply enact a law whereby each person must have health insurance. People would pay for their own health insurance or find other ways of obtaining coverage, such as through employment. This would only work if a system of support for those unable to afford healthcare coverage became an option.
