Uh, that’s pretty much the definition of single-payer, at least as commonly used.

From Wikipedia: Single-payer healthcare is a type of universal healthcare in which the costs of essential healthcare for all residents are covered by a single public system (hence "single-payer").

The difference here being the US has a fractured system, with several government systems (but from the same government). Medicare for All would be try single payer.

I linked to that very Wikipedia article and said Medicare for All would be single payer in another comment half an hour before yours: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36751975
