The issue is who gets to decide for the child. In the U.S. it's the parents, not the doctors or the court.

My concern is that if there is a single payer health care system here in the U.S., the patient will lose control of their health care decisions, as it appears the parents of Charlie Gard did.

No, sometimes it's the court in the US. http://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/2006/10/hlaw1-0610.html - and this has nothing to do with who pays for it.
