There is a ton of money in Canada, it's just going into the wrong places. While there were probably many mistakes made, and too many politicians likely make way too much money, and there's probably even a healthy dose of corruption, I'm ignoring all that for now. When my grandma was in the hospital (I'll say that she received prompt care every single time, at both the Rockyview and Foothills, but I understand that was likely not much more than luck), it cost for cable TV.
Prisoners get it for free. I pay $15 a month to watch soccer, and I pay a few bucks for each Flames PPV game, pay money for my HD package, and everyone who's killed someone in the last 10 years in this country gets it for free. They get 3 square meals a day (whereas in my opinion, they should get bread and water, some fruit, simply enough food to get through, and not be sick to not put further strain on the health system). The only exercise they should get is manual labour. Roadworks and such, anything that does good for society. We have to also spend extra money on police, because murderers and rapists get released from prison and re-offend. My plan would make prisons very cheap to run, would also save the government money on roadworks, and that money could go to hospitals.

I do know this. The system needs to improve, and it's not even that low down the list. My grandmother in Poland died, because she was admitted on Friday evening, and the weekend staff (which is much less people than the weekday staff) couldn't do anything but keep her there until a doctor could look at her on Monday (this was cancer as well).

As far as the USA, it has great health care if you can afford it. Simple as that.
