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> − − Single-payer is popular among the political left in the United States. − − ==See also== − *[[Universal health care]] − − == References == − − <references/> − − − − [[Category:Health promotion]]
