I think it's very common for Americans with decent insurance to not want universal healthcare, and be afraid they'll pay waaaaay more in tax. They think the system is fine as it is, because they've never put it to the test. Then they have some catastrophic incident (car crash, cancer, heart attack, etc. etc.) and they're bankrupt in a few years and become very, very strong proponents of universal healthcare. I think it's exceptionally hard for people to understand the system until it personally impacts their life in a very big way. I'm not sure what to do about it. Maybe as a start every health insurance provider should be forced to provide facts about customers with the same insurance who had catastrophic events and how that worked out for them over 3-5 years.
