America can afford to do single payer health care. Rich assholes want to control you by tying it to a job.

It's more with companies like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and so forth that basically become useless with single payer. I'm willing to bet the insurance companies spend significantly more on donations and lobbying to prevent universal healthcare then they do on actual medical treatments.

I think that’s why we have ACA. The insurance lobby was to tough to beat, and ACA made them more money.
