Oklahoma City, OK

These terms really pertain to discussions in health care reform, which are separate but related concepts.

Universal coverage will pertain to the health care system in the US which grants health coverage to every individual. A single-payer system, on the other hand, is one in which there is one party that is responsible for paying health care claims, which is usually the government.

This specific system is in contrast with current health care system in the US. Universal coverage and single-payer system will usually be positively correlated. This is because a country’s federal government is the most likely candidate to administer and pay for a health care system covering millions of people. It will be very hard to imagine any private entity to have the resources to establish a nationwide health care coverage system.

It would be possible to have a universal coverage even without having a single-payer system in Oklahoma City Oklahoma OK. There will be various political interests that will likely prevent this from being realized. However, it will still be possible to construct such a system, which would provide universal coverage with multiple payers.

Theoretically, it will be possible to have a single-payer system without having universal coverage. However, it is extremely unlikely to ever occur because the single-payer would undoubtedly be the federal government. Therefore, it would not be politically viable for them to exclude any citizen from coverage if our own government adopts such a system.
