Single payer moves the bargaining power out of the hands of the service provider party using the government's power to set prices. It doesn't give all of the power to the user side, since if the government tries to set a too low price, the providers can just choose to not offer that service, so it is still a negotiation, it's just no longer based on "how badly do you want to live/get better?"
