America already pays more per capita into their Medicare/Medicaid system then most countries with universal healthcare. Just stop adding an extra zero to every line item on a medical bill and you will cover the cost of universal healthcare.
Private insurers and unlimited spending from big pharma lobbyists ensure US politicians keep those extra 0s right where they are, and that we get worse medical outcomes as a bonus on top.
Besides, the capitalists want us dependent on jobs for healthcare. Much easier to manipulate and exploit the workers that way.

The real trick is convincing a lot of people that this is the best way to handle it.
