While there is a legitimate argument to be made this country was built on the backs of slaves

Well the argument would be that the whole country was built by 1865 but I don't think it's a legitimate argument.

What happened to Obamacare? Are Dems saying it failed?

If Obamacare failed, Dems have no cred on the healthcare issue.

The alternative is private pay healthcare.
That should incentivize people to work to better their lives.

You asked:
What's alternative to medicare for all? Let people die?
Three alternatives already in place: 1. Obamacare. 2. It is against the law to turn anyone away from an emergency room, and:

3: MEDICAID

Medicaid in the United States is a federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid also offers benefits not normally covered by Medicare, including nursing home care and personal care services. The Health Insurance Association of America describes Medicaid as "a government insurance program for persons of all ages whose income and resources are insufficient to pay for health care." Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with low income in the United States, providing free health insurance to 74 million low-income and disabled people as of 2017. It is a means-tested program that is jointly funded by the state and federal governments and managed by the states, with each state currently having broad leeway to determine who is eligible for its implementation of the program. States are not required to participate in the program, although all have since 1982. Medicaid recipients must be U.S. citizens or qualified non-citizens, and may include low-income adults, their children, and people with certain disabilities. Poverty alone does not necessarily qualify someone for Medicaid.
