Pro's and Con's: Single-Payer Healthcare

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

A primary pro and the chief con are the same thing: they're efficient and utilitarian.  Under a well-managed single-payer system, the cost of everything - medical procedures, salaries, new equipment - is scrutinised systematically in a utilitarian (in the Benthamian sense) manner. This is a cost-efficiency you don't get in systems like America or multi-payer affairs like Germany. The NHS - my point of reference - has its spending priorities down to a science. Which is both good and bad in a way - such is life.
