Left = favor of radical change, socialism, and republicans. Right = supported institutions of the monarchist old regime, institutional religion and privatization of economy. Aligns more with liberal (or progressive pov) Private sector of health care system driven by employers/jobs = companies want a tax writeoff. Funding come from a single public fund. Public fund is generated from taxation & fees. Single payer = federal or state government or quasi governmental agency. Single set of rules for covered services, payment to providers. Universal access, but uses multiple insurance, the public option . Everyone has means to pay for health care (either public or private) All providers operate under same payment rules. Costs & charges are monitored, but payment is fixed: provider is at risk for any costs that exceed fixed payment. Realization of the affordable care act if fully implemented. Healthcare not seen as a public good.
