It's clear we should have fixed health care a long time ago. Why didn't that happen? Your party prevented it from happening and in the process dumped an enormous burden on US businesses that other countries don't have.Smart CEOs want that burden lifted. Dumb CEOs think we can afford another tax cut.
Uh, we've had good health care . It's called medicare.

let's see now....which party killed single payer?

which president?

pnhp.org

“The President once acknowledged that single payer reform was the best option, but now he’s caving in to corporate healthcare interests and completely shutting out advocates of single payer reform,” Himmelstein said. “The majority of Americans favor single payer, and it’s the most popular reform option among doctors and health economists, but no single payer supporter has been invited to participate in the administration’s health care summit. Meanwhile, he’s appointed as his health reform czar Nancy-Ann DeParle, a woman who has made her living advising health care investors and sits on the board of many for-profit firms that have made billions from Medicare. Her appointment — and the invitation list to the healthcare summit — is a clear signal that the administration plans to propose a corporate-friendly health reform that has no chance of actually solving our health care crisis.”

Obama to single payer advocates: drop dead.

It appears to me that the answer is straightforward: No one knew how to do it, politically and technically. As is evidenced by the ACA which simply took the problem and made it worse than ever.
