Single-payer vs. own-your-own healthcare

There's an excellent article over at LewRockwell.com written by a doctor describing the differences between the current third-party-payer system of employer-provided HMOs, the single-payer system (by which they mean the citizen through taxes) advocated by anti-free-marketeers, and the privately-run, take-responsibility-for-your-own-health system advocated by those who believe in the free market and personal responsibility.

For those uber-wonks out there who want to read a much more detailed breakdown, Milton Friedman's 2001 piece is fantastic.
