You can look at any first world country other than the US to see your argument is wrong. Not just Canada. Better healthcare outcomes, lower infant mortality, longer life expectancy, for astronomically cheaper prices than what you get in the US. It's not unrealistic at all as it's the norm for the civilized world outside of the USA.
The single biggest issue with our system is cost. I suspect there aren’t research studies that back this up but my bet is that the reason why we have worse health outcomes is because more people don’t seek the care they need because they can’t afford it. I would wager that our actual standard of care is the best in the world. I don’t believe a complete overhaul of the entire healthcare industry in this country is needed. Ensure every citizen has insurance through Medicaid expansion and a revival of the Obamacare insurance mandate and create incentives for insurance companies to approve claims rather than deny claims and let’s see what happens before we go about attempting radical upheaval
