The US has multiple government run single-payers. I remember being told six, but I remember Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA. What the US does not have is universal healthcare, though I think we spend something like as much of a percentage of GDP on our non-universal government systems as other countries do on their universal healthcare, and then again we spend more GDP on private. All for worse outcomes than those other countries (though we can do some really impressive stuff if you're rich). It's quite a racket for sure.
