The courts said that they had to allow Canadians to privately purchase outside the monopoly because the monopoly could not supply everyone with health care. This was, of course, an obvious result as this is inherently the nature of central planning.
And the people that comprised these courts fell out of the sky, unaware of the concept of money.

Again, no country you will want to point to has single-payer. That's the first piece of evidence. We can go beyond that to know why this is the case, because a single monopoly corporation over a sector does not work as well as the market. This is why we do not have a monopoly corporation that controls the entire food sector, when people have tried this it has been only famine. An additional piece of evidence you might want to not reject would again be how you're condemning a system in which the size of monopoly control over the sector as you advocate has increased exponentially. Like in education if the expansion of what you desire is not achieving results you may want to reconsider your methods.
Countries with single payer healthcare: Norway, Japan, United Kingdom, Kuwait, Sweden, Bahrain, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Spain, and Iceland. In case you're wondering what single payer is, it is a type of universal healthcare that is publicly administered and is financed by taxes. Single-payer healthcare covers the costs of essential healthcare for all of a country’s residents with costs paid for by a single public system. The US's healthcare ranks behind all of them.
What I think you might be getting at is most countries have some sort of mix of private and single payer healthcare. As for whether this would be better for the US than what it has now, there's quite literally a mountain of studies that says yes, in every concievable way.
As for education, what I desire for it has not been tried yet. I thought this was made clear when I pointed out that the money increase over time has not reached teachers, but I'm glad I could clear that up.
