**please make any citations you find on the web** What are the pros and cons of a universal/single payer Medicare for all system in the US? Is the universal/single payer Medicare for all system right for the American people? In your discussion review the experience of other countries that have government operated health care. We currently have a government operated and controlled single payer system in the US. This is known as the Veteran's Administration (VA) system. Would this be a satisfactory system for the general population? There is also an important economic consideration of a universal/single payer system. What would be the economic impact of taxation to pay for health care delivery? What is the taxation experience in other countries that have a one payer system? Can our health care system survive and thrive under a Medicare/Medicaid scheme of reimbursement?
