Again you have not thought through your argument. If the government controls all payments, doctors and hospitals can't just charge what they want. It's no longer capitalism when the government tells you what can you can charge. And as far as Satan and evil, if the shoe fits.

There is not going to be "America's version". The only people who want it, want it because they can get something for nothing. When you tell people how much it's going to cost, what it's going to do to death rates, what it's going to do to cancer outcomes and how much they're going to be paying for it they don't want it.
If you want a clear view of what the Canadian system is all about, 60 minutes did a show on it. I'm sure it's on YouTube because it's devastating for your argument.

If Canadians came to the US for helthcare, instead of waiting the 39 weeks to get care, they would pay full price for it. They are already paying the high cost of their forced system.
"One Ontario woman, Judy Congdon, learned that she needed a hip replacement in 2016, according to the Toronto Sun. Doctors initially scheduled the procedure for September 2017 -- almost a year later. The surgery never happened on schedule. The hospital ran over budget, forcing physicians to postpone the operation for another year."

Here is the last paragraph:
Americans shouldn't fall for these rosy promises. As Canadians know all too well, when the government foots the bill for healthcare, patients are the ones who pay the biggest price.

In America we don't have a capitalistic system for healthcare, it not really a free market. The federal government is not permitted to negotiate Part D drug prices with drug companies, as federal agencies do in other programs. Taxpayers for forced to pay whatever the price the drug companies charge. This is why drug company profits have soared, and Medicare part D is going broke.
