For what it is worth I've worked in health care in Canada (some years ago now) and in Australia. They both work far better than the third world system in the US.
I thought the system in Canada was better than that in Australia, which (to oversimplify) is about midway between Canada's system and the US system.
A conservative Canadian Prime Minister regarded public health care as a 'sacred duty' of governments.
