Neither is the US. From what I've heard from people who've moved from the US to Canada, quality of care and wait times are far better here in the US. Most people would rather pay for a higher standard of care and shorter wait times than move to a lower standard of care and far longer wait times for free. The fact that Canada is losing many of it's better doctors and nurses to the US should tell you something about the situation. I wouldn't want a socialized healthcare system period. What I would like to see is a reform in the US healthcare system, especially in terms of US insurance companies. In the words of Obama "why take a hatchet to something that only requires a scalpel"?

All the government is proposing is an alternative for people who can't get employer based insurance to be able to buy directly from the same insurance that senators and congressmen get. Otherwise, business as usual for private insurance companies.~~ ~~This is a mute point because Nationalized insurance is not in the works.

Insurance is gambling. How do we keep Casino's from getting more and more corrupt, like the insurance industry is? Caps on profits. If an insurance company had to pay out 90 cents of every dollar that it takes in, it would have to lower premiums. Pass transparent billing, enforce contract law and anti-trust laws. That is very important too, but if insurance companies were obligated to return a percentage of what they take in, not a percentage of net, but a percentage of each and every dollar they touch, health care costs would come down to a realistic level. One law, enforce the others. Done! I agree with a lot of what Nemisis said, but I think I can simplify it even further.

Unless of course you view treatment of the poorer people a failure. The benefit to not treating a lot of people, is faster care for the wealthy. If you don't want to have universal health care, the government can step in and price fix medical procedures like they do in japan. It works okay for them. They can afford adequate medical treatment because the government forces it to be affordable, and the same prices in rural as in urban areas. The real problem with our system, coming from someone who has an entire family in medicine (Doctors, surgeons, nurses)...is the insurance companies. They buffer every side. The doctors, the hospital, the patients, everyone has to get insurance, and they are the ones forcing prices higher and higher.
