Single-Payer Action Network Ohio - SpanOhio.org - What is Single-Payer? Single-payer means that one fund, administered by a non-profit government agency accountable to the public would make payment for all medical services. Period. The 1500 private health insurance companies that currently do this work—each raking in profits for its stockholders and each with its own expensive bureaucracy and complicated policies—would no longer be involved as middle men. Medicare is an example of a single-payer plan.
