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.

How is the US's system slower? That is certainly a new criticism, and a bit laughable considering you're comparing it to Canada.

The US's healthcare system is no different from any other private industry. If you can afford it, you can get whatever level of care you want.
