There is universal healthcare in the 'States. It is called Medicare but it covers only those 65 and up. It also happens to be very popular as you can imagine with Seniors.
Unfortunately it is grossly underfunded and will run out of money before Social Security because of underfunding and spiraling healthcare costs.
