| − | * A single-payer [[health care system]] is one in which a single-entity -- the government -- collects almost all of the revenue for and pays almost all of the bills for the health care system. In most single-payer systems only a small percentage of health care expenses are paid for with private funds. Countries that have a single-payer system include Australia, Canada, Sweden and the United Kingdom. <ref> [http://www.freemarketcure.com/singlepayermyths.php The Myths of Single-Payer Health Care] - [[David Hogberg]] </ref>
