Healthcare has to be fixed at the state and national level. There's not much that can be done at a lower level. There are a lot of rules around what states can do to regulate interstate commerce. There's also the situation we're in with pot, where it's legal in many state, but still illegal at the federal level.
The other big issue, is like a lot of things in the US, if someone has money healthcare is great. It's probably the best in the world. Those who get elected have money and don't personally feel the healthcare issue. Heck, politicians at the federal level have their own healthcare system making them even further removed.
One of the biggest voting blocks is seniors, and they have already have access to what many say could be a step towards universal healthcare if opened to everyone. So they are also not inclined to think about it too much.
All in all, it's complicated.
