Canadian style health care is really a non-starter for the US; I honestly have no idea why the candidates are even suggesting it. But the US could certainly achieve a German or Swiss-style system which provides excellent universal coverage with the option to have supplementary private coverage.
That said, the number of Americans who have coverage that's "infinitely superior" to basic Canadian coverage is so small that it's basically irrelevant electorally. Even pretty good healthcare plans have their warts.
