Your ethos sucks. I know you probably haven't thought of this ... cause it again would require more than a knee jerk thought, but who do you suppose throws out that 60 percent number? People like Bernie Sanders. Why does he do this .. cause like all liberals, he wants to frighten people into giving liberals more of their money and more power.
But let's stop and use our brains here for a moment. What usually also happens when people have serious medical problems that produce serious medical bills. C'mon use that brain of yours and think.
What did you come up with? Did it occur to you that when folks have such health problems they very frequently can't work and that has a lot to do with bankruptcies too and that very likely is the cause of said bankruptcies. Maybe they can't ever go back to work. National healthcare isn't gonna fix that. It's also gonna do this:

"Last year, Canadians faced a median wait of nearly 21 weeks to receive specialist treatment after getting referred by a general practitioner. Certain procedures come with longer waits. End-to-end, patients waited a median of 39 weeks for orthopedic surgery in 2019."

Why would anyone with good insurance want crap care like that. Canada is great if you have the sniffles, but if you have something serious, you'd much rather be an American with insurance. Heck, in Canada you might not have to declare bankruptcy due to medical issues, cause you might be dead before you even can see a specialist!
And a doctor shortage.
