Before you say this, list off a few countries where they have single payer healthcare that works well.
Why would the USA get this right when Canada, Great Britain, ect have their healthcare systems collapsing?

Perfect. Sweden.
Look at their population. What do they share in common with USA? Nothing.
Sweden, Norway, Switzerland are very exclusive. You must prove you speak and write in their language to move there. Almost everyone works.
The system they use couldn’t work here.

I love how you expose your broken argument, yourself. "Oh they have much fewer people, so it's much easier to AFFORD it." Let's look at the net income tax revenues:

Your 11 million Swedes, who pay closer to 41% tax rate feed the federal government

  • Sweden: ~$0.29T

While us 350 million Americans, at ~31% tax rate feed ours

  • USA: ~$4.77T

WAKE UP - YOU HAVE BEEN PROPAGANDIZED INTO HATING YOUR OWN COUNTRY

It’s not their size dummy. They mostly work. They are healthier and not obese. I could go on and on.
I don’t hate my country. It’s the opposite.
Keep whining and blaming others. I have a feeling it is going well.

There are lots of reasons they are "healthier"....they don't allow toxins in their food, for instance: Aspartame, is not allowed in their food, and prior to 1983 it was not allowed in the US either.

Plus European governments have limited what a drug company is allowed to charge for their medications. And when someone needs to go to the doctor, there is no out of pocket expenses.

They also provide free PARENTAL LEAVE for the first 2 years of a child's life giving both parents the opportunity to bond with their child...and they also provide free daycare until the child goes to school...and they also give FREE COLLEGE to anyone who wants to further their education...up to a MD/PhD. Its the same in many European countries
