> Some people think single payer system is the solution but then when they talk to Canadians they realize that's not the solution either.
I don't know a single Canadian who would swap their system for the USA's. Theirs might not be perfect, but nobody argues that it isn't at least better than the literal worst system the world has ever come up with.
Canadian here; our system has some pretty extreme issues. The vast majority of Canadians still prefer it to the U.S. Wealthy Canadians (>$500M net worth) would likely prefer the U.S. system in all cases though. Even moderately wealthy Canadians ($1M+ net worth) would likely get better treatment from the American system 95% of the time (when they don't have extreme issues which result in exceptionally costly treatment)
One thing to consider is that doctors seemingly prefer things about how the U.S. system works (I'm not just talking about the amounts charged, but inefficiencies and red tape in the Canadian system, some of which seem to be a consequence of socialized health care). Ultimately this does lead to some brain drain which then compounds the issues with our system.
