The argument from the right against single-payer health care is that it creates a dependency on government. I would argue that what single-payer does is that it creates freedom. The type of freedom the right does not want us to have.
It gives people freedom to leave a job they hate without having to fear bankruptcy should they get sick. It gives people the freedom to go back to school to improve themselves without having to fear what happens to their children should they become ill. It gives someone with a medical condition the ability to move on safe in the knowledge that their health will be taken care of.
