“The point is that socialism destroys medical care just as it destroys everything else. ”

I understand your point. however it is incorrect.
you provided 2 examples of socialism destroying healthcare. Your first (ER being used for routine ailments) was exactly backwards as it is an example where “socialism” saves medical care. An important example at that.
your second (wait times for elective procedures) was more valid though not absolute. The reason Canada has longer wait times is an effort to cut cost. If long wait times is a “destruction of health care” (a notion that is debatable) we can spend more than Canada does to cut wait times.
Im not sure how you define “destroys medical care” Life expectancy is lower in the US than all Western countries. In spite of spending more than any of them.
So in summary your point isnt true and you’ve provided one example to counter it and one weak not absolute, example to support it

“The Torah definitely does support capitalism…”

I provided several examples IF you define capitalism as not allowing for lending with interest, selling real property, competition, making as much profit as the market allows then sure the Torah supports capitalism
