The point is that no one has solved healthcare, contrary to the OP's point. It is certainly more equitable in places like Canada, but of a lower quality at the high end in virtually every country compared to the US, and it often takes months to see a specialist (but everyone gets a chance, if they don't have an urgent condition, that is).
America's healthcare system is terrible, but socializing it like other countries have done isn't going to solve the problem (root causes include a massive shortage of doctors, a norm of bundling insurance with employment, lack of pricing transparency, partially socialized healthcare, as described in the article, and a system in which it costs a billion dollars to get a drug approved).
