The us has over ten times the population of Australia. The concentration of power is much greater and the distrust of that power isn’t completely irrational.

What I can’t figure out is why one state out of the fifty can’t do healthcare. That’s how it stayed in Canada, in one province.

Many already do to some extent, they're just incremental, narrow changes designed to solve the most pressing issues rather than full "free, universal healthcare". For example, Massachusetts's mandatory health insurance, or Washington State's public option.
