Because neither one is economically viable.
First, the cost of converting thousands of processes built over 200 years is greater than any gains made in using the metric system.
As to universal health care, we have a free market that sets the rates based on customer/patient need. That free market just took a serious hit today with ObamaCare. We previously believed that each person was responsible for themselves and their family. Now we have been told it will be the government.
Both have, of course, proved economically viable and hugely successful in the rest of the world. Americans stand alone in rejecting the metric system and not caring for their neighbours.
The metric system in universal around the world whereas the customary system is only used in the US. For this reason scientists and mathmeticians all use the metric system because it creates a sort of universal language so there is no translating.
everyone that doesnt live in the United States dont use it
While the metric system is widely used and considered the universal system of measurement, some countries, like the United States, still use the English system due to historical reasons and tradition. Transitioning to the metric system can be a slow and costly process, requiring changes in infrastructure, education, and industry practices. Additionally, there may be resistance from individuals and industries comfortable with the English system.
The metric system was created in France during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. It was developed to establish a universal system of measurement based on powers of ten for easier and more standardized measurements.
The metric system is used in science projects because it is a universal system of measurement that is consistent and easy to understand. It allows for accurate and precise measurements, making it easier to compare and analyze data. Additionally, the metric system is based on powers of 10, which simplifies calculations and conversions.

The metric system.
The whole point of the metric system is that it is a universal system, so that one metre in one country is the same as one metre in every other country. The metric system is the same everywhere.

metric is spelled métrique in French. That means based on the universal measurement system in which the length unit is the meter.
Because it is best. It is easiest (if you use a base ten counting system) to convert and compare.

I think you are referring to SI, the international standard of measurement units agreed upon by the international scientific community. SI does not stand for the metric system per se, but it is not surprising that all of the SI units are metric since the world's preference for the metric system is almost universal. Currently there are only three countries in which the metric system is not the standard system of measurements.
The metric system was devised by French scientists during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. It was designed to be a universal system of measurements based on powers of ten for ease of use and conversion.
