I think it basically means there's no middle man (like a health insurance industry).

Since it's one massive customer (the Canadian government, or the NHS in the case of the UK), there is only one single entity that is paying.

And naturally, that's wayyy cheaper.

There are some big differences between Canadian healthcare and the NHS, but I think they're both technically single payer.
