Would the usa be so proud of its useless healthcare system that they seem to want to stay broken.
Obamacare isnt half way to creating a decent system but it was the nearset he was able to claw from the american idiots who vote against their interests.
In America, we do have a thing called "Medicare", which our conservatives want to reduce to being a coupon system for seniors to buy private health insurance (good luck finding a provider who will take you). The government is the single payer in this system. And guess what? It's the best and most efficient system of health care in America today by all measures, both in terms of patient satisfaction and in terms of cost of care.
It's amazing what happens when you remove useless middlemen like for profit health insurance companies who's financial interests run against providing health care.

I just got my gouging-refund from my private leeches (health insurance companies). My employees got one too. Because of the new reform law, health insurance companies can only make so much profit from their premiums. This is money in our pockets.

And who wrecked it again? Oh yeah, Republicans and their repeatedly failed policies of "trickle down" economics and "don't worry, markets will regulate themselves" deregulation. The former proved completely a waste of tax revenue as the rich simply hoarded their gains and the latter was an unmitigated disaster that plunged us into a depression.
Now they're promising more of the same if they win this year. How many times do you have to try something and have it fail before you realize it doesn't work?
