Private health care can coexist with a system of Universal Health Care Coverage. Yes, the Canadian system is almost entirely run by the government, but there is no reason that the US most copy the Canadian system. In Australia, 40% of hospital services are delivered by privately run hospitals.
Maybe. Kind of tricky to compare when you have different demographics in so many ways - different aged populations would be a huge factor. A lot of government healthcare at the top of that graph if you forget about focusing on Denmark.

Private healthcare FTW. You have a better chance of surviving cancer in the US than in Denmark.

US healthcare is not a pure market based system, though. The regulations make it very expensive.
