They all either have or are implementing UHC systems.

Our nation is really sad because fundamentally it is racial tensions that have stopped us. We could've gotten UHC in the 40s, but southern politicians feared it would lead to integration of hospitals and blocked it.

Then in the 60s when dems started standing up for minority rights and the GOP became the party hostile to black (and latino) rights, virtually all the white voters in the south became republicans. Now about 65% of whites in the south vote GOP, and in the deep south it is 80-90%.

Its an embarrassment. We don't have UHC because too many people are angry that blacks and latinos are treated halfway decently. If that weren't an issue, we would've had it in the 1940s. Its not a coincidence there are no non-whites at the teabagger festivals.

We need an honest assessment of our own nation, not mindless jingoism.
