Single-Payer Reform and Rural Health in the United States: Lessons from Our Northern Neighbor


Single-Payer Reform and Rural Health in the United States: Lessons from Our Northern Neighbor
Abstract
Single-payer health reform has secured its place in the mainstream American health policy debate, yet its implications for particular subpopulations or sectors of care remain understudied. Amidst many unanswered questions from policymakers and political pundits, rural health has emerged as one such area. This article explores rural Canada’s five-decade-long experience with a national publicly funded health insurance program as a valuable opportunity for cross-national learning. During March 2020, I conducted 13 semi-structured, elite stakeholder interviews with government officials, academic researchers, rural hospital executives, public health association leaders, rural health administrators, and representatives from provincial medical, hospital, and physician associations in Ontario. I found that a single-payer model confers notable advantages over a market-based model, including improved rural hospital viability and enhanced governmental authority to plan health services. However, despite these advantages, advances in Canadian rural health care have remained modest, and those that have occurred seem to be derived as much from a basic value commitment to tackling rural health issues as from the structure of Canada’s single-payer model itself. These results suggest that designing a national single-payer program in the United States that successfully ameliorates geographic health disparities will require a specific and concerted focus on addressing rural health issues. In the absence of such a focus, any single-payer program instituted in the U.S. risks inadequately meeting the pressing and unique health care needs of rural communities.
