36. You should use France as an example of single-payer, not Canada.

France is ranked by the World Health Organization as having the best health care system in the world. They operate on a single-payer format. Hospitals and other health care providers are largely privately run, but the government negotiates on behalf of its citizens the prices for prescription drugs and medical procedures. Canada is only ranked 30th. The US is ranked 37th.
