Anecdotally, waiting to see a regular old doctor was faster in Italy than in the US. Some specialist visits involved longer waiting times in Italy. Going private in Italy was generally both fast and cheap: something like 100 euro for a chest X-ray done the next day.
Canada's health care system is good, I guess, but it's generally not ranked quite as highly as places like France and Italy, IIRC. More comparisons tend to be made with Canada and the UK because of the common language.
My understanding is that the Canadian system is a step above the US system but not otherwise that great on a global scale. This is pretty much Canada's national motto.
