The best health care systems in the world are not Single Payer. Only one of the top 30 are Single Payer. The French System uses a Public Health Insurance Option. As does the UK. In fact there are at least 29 countries above Canada. Canada is one of two countries with a Universal Single Payer system, the other being Taiwan, which ranks lower than the US in terms of health care. So I ask, is a Single Payer system really better than a Public Option?
