Individual components polling well does not necessarily mean the package as a whole will poll well. Also Americans are incredibly fickle (look at polling associated with remaining in Afghanistan). I don't support expansion to medicare or medicaid (although the ability to negotiate on drug prices seems reasonable). We are already facing a looming funding crisis for social security & medicare and I don't think it's reasonable to put even more debt on future generations. If the US wants a European style social safety net, the US middle class is going to need to help pay for it which I don't think they're willing to do.
