I will never understand why Americans haven't invested in universal single payer health care a long time ago.

Hillary was studying it, back when Bill was in office and she was "just the first lady." The insurance companies got wind of it and ran lots of negative issue ads and scared people so badly that the Clinton administration backed off.

The wind is still blowing from that direction--the insurance companies make so much money out of this system that they will exert any level of painful pressure necessary to scare Americans into backing off of such an idea.
