There's also the fact that while it's going swimmingly (job, healthy, etc), it doesn't seem so bad, so there's little incentive to change it... until it goes wrong, at which point you're too preoccupied to change anything. At least that's how it seems to me, and why for some people on the left, healthcare isn't the most important issue to tackle. Having humans die in agony or poverty is terrible, but having it happen to your fellow countrymen is unforgivable.
