There are two different issues here: how to structure your healthcare system and how much of society's resources to devote to it. Canada (and even more so the UK) have a nationalized healthcare system AND they've decided to spend very little money on it. Both countries spend substantially less on healthcare than the US or other advanced economies with similar healthcare systems. As a result, they have long lines sometimes. But that's a separate decision.
