Per capita, the US spends twice as much as Canada on health care and yet their system hasn’t handled this pandemic any better than ours. If you look at the countries that out perform us, all have national systems rather than our Balkanized provincial setup which results in a lot of expensive duplication in many areas.
The US system is not defendable nor would I want it in Canada. But our system has its problems too. There's a myth where we all idolize our universal healthcare system, and i think it's a good ideal to have (universal healthcare for everyone), but that doesn't mean its beyond criticism or that its the best possible system simply because the US system has so many problems. Because the US system sucks doesn't mean everything private is bad. If you make private highly regulated and access equatable why wouldn't it work? People will use examples of the US because it's the only one that seemingly exists, but the US isn't regulated enough nor is it very equatable, so using it to compare isn't useful.
