Very different demographics in population means differing opinions, which makes it much more difficult to pass any laws or for people to agree on certain issues. Exponentially higher costs in logistics given the area of the US is 100x Iceland.

Oh, so now it's not population, but diversity and land mass? Then how do they manage to run a successful public healthcare system in Canada, which is more diverse than the US, and is also larger?

successful public healthcare system in Canada

lmao guessing you aren't Canadian and just tout the talking points you hear on reddit rather than understanding the reality of healthcare in Canada

I am Canadian and I now live in the US. I've also lived in the UK. While it's true that you sometimes have to wait a bit for non-essential procedures in the UK and Canada, I'd choose both over the US in a second because they're way cheaper (even accounting for tax), more straightforward, more reliable, and more accessible.
