That's not true. We have something probably at least pretty similar to single payer and I never ever heard anyone say "I wish our system was more like in the US". We have good doctors, there was no "exodus" in any way, by all measures available to me our health is better than in the US. At lesser overall cost, obviously.

And sure many specialists are found in the US and some more exotic or complicated illnesses can be treated there alone, but that's not because doctors can get richer there (rather that it's a very big country that of course has more top specialists to offer than other smaller countries). But by no means is all medical excellence assembled in the US. In other cases, Germany or some other European countries are the best place for treatment, even with the universal healthcare system in place.
