In single-payer health care, a public entity - most often the government - finances the delivery of health care to a nation's citizens. Medicare is an example of single-payer health care. This system has been hotly debated in the struggle over reforming America's health care coverage and many still believe that it is the best option.

• Dr. Oliver Fein, president of Physicians for a National Health Program
• Dr. Robert Dannenhoffer,immediate past president of the Oregon Medical Association
• Dr. Rajiv Sharma, PSU associate professor of economics specializing in health economics
• Eric Fruits, Ph.D., policy analyst, Cascade Policy Institute
