People are worried about "socialized medicine".
In my metropolitan area, almost all doctors are working for one of three very large and expanding private networks.
And more and more insurance offers are forcing members to pick a plan serviced by only one of those networks.
It may not be "government", but their healthcare is already dictated by a single large and not very transparent nor accountable organization. Where employees aren't worried just about making money, themselves, but also about maximizing "returns" for shareholders.

We keep on passing up opportunities to do it right because our politics are so broken (to be clear: intentionally broken by one party who represents a minority of the population).
