Yeah, and they all generally get there by paying practitioners much less than the US does (by integer multiples). Single-payer, which this working paper equates with "universal coverage", is in fact not the norm among universal systems; besides using Medicare to ration the supply of practitioners, the original sin of our system is employer-based coverage, not payer structure.
Health care is an absolutely massive industry (everywhere, not just in the United States), and slashing compensation in a massive industry by top-down fiat is in fact not an especially easy thing to do.
