Preferred term
single-payer systems
Definition
- The term single-payer system refers to any healthcare scheme in which a sole source of funding provides payments to physicians, hospitals, laboratories, and other providers for services rendered to patients. While healthcare reform advocates often propose single-payer systems as a means to achieve universal healthcare, the terms should not be considered synonymous.
