The best argument, in my opinion, for Single-Payer Health Care is that it'll free up businesses to not have to worry about administering or paying for it anymore.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving slimebag.

You're thinking about it the wrong way. Companies aren't going to drop health coverage overnight. They will (and indeed many already do) slowly lower the amount of premium they're paying into the plan, and choose less costly (and less comprehensive) health plans.
