Try adding 10x the current number of people to the Canadian health care system of all kinds of different economic and cultural backgrounds and then see how well it fares. That's basically what would happen if you tried to replicate the Canadian health care system in the US.

I'm not sure I undertand your reasoning, wouldnt Canada's health system be scalable ?

 

In 2006, per-capita spending for health care in Canada was US$3,678; in the U.S. it's US$6,714. The U.S. spent 15.3% of GDP on healthcare in that year; Canada spent only 10.0%

The US is spending far more per-capita and has the resources, just look at the military budget, but the US still gets worse health outcomes  

And that's not just limited to Canada vs USA either.

The USA spends roughly 2.5x the OECD average on Healthcare, yet it's health results rank lower.

The USA health system is slow, inefficient, ineffective and expensive.
