Single-payer healthcare systems like those in Canada and the UK ultimately lead to long wait times, rationing and reduced access to treatments, and poorer health outcomes compared to the United States. Scott Atlas admits that while the U.S. has the highest healthcare costs, it also provides the best access to high-quality care, and that moving to a single-payer system would destroy the quality of care and technological healthcare innovation. Instead, he proposes a market-oriented approach to healthcare reform focused on increasing price transparency, reducing regulations, and empowering consumers to make informed choices to suit their needs.
