It totally depends on the government. Colorado could provide a single payer system, and perhaps run it without difficulty, if Colorado were not a state and was instead a country of 5 million.

Our federal government, as we've seen, is totally incapable of running such a program. But a small country with only a few million residents can get away with it as long as they have big countries to do the innovating and to bring them economies of scale.

If Norway didn't have the United States to produce chemo agents for them, they'd have a far bigger cancer problem than they have today, for example.

Places like Australia and New Zealand have strict immigration and residency laws which they enforce. One of the reasons is to prevent piling in and crushing the system. Heck, you are too old to emigrate to those places and get a job.
