No, you're thinking of a public option, ie medicaid with no enrollment restrictions. the ACA was always an insurance-based program. And yes a lot of people, myself included, chose Obama over Hillary specifically because of his support for a public option, and were quite pissed when he caved.

Yeah, why kill jobs implementing single-payer when we can just shut down the govt which is so much more productive?

The people who are causing the shutdown are the ones who would make it most difficult to pass a single payer system.
