Universal health care, through single payer or any other mechanism, is simply not a priority for the Democratic Party now. And why not?
(1) no party constituency is demanding universal health coverage
(2) no liberal or left-wing think tanks, lobbyists, unions, etc. have come up with any viable strategy to implement a federalized single payer system
(3) Democratic party members at any level of elected government are not eager to attempt to "reform" health care to their electoral demise for the third time in thirty years.
The current quality/level of coverage/access to insurance through Obamacare exchanges and the Medicaid expansion suits the Democrats just fine for now.
