That’s untrue: https://pnhp.org/a-brief-history-universal-health-care-efforts-in-the-us/ https://pnhp.org/a-brief-history-universal-health-care-effor... There have been meaningful efforts that keep reverting to insurance schemes since the late 1800s, with the first real legislative passage in 1915.

The issue is more the business lobby against expansion of health care and the insurance lobby against expansion of universal solutions like single payer and Medicare / VA expansion to everyone. In fact the concerns aren’t false - insurance and the billing industry are huge employers of relatively low skilled but well paid workers.
