I find that a lot people are wary of universal healthcare (or whatever we're calling it) because they just don't want the US govt anywhere near their healthcare. If the US govt had a great track record of getting shit done quickly, efficiently and cost effectively then I bet the numbers in favor would go up a bit. I agree that we need to address the health care issues in this country but when you have a population of 300 million people who largely think the federal govt is a crooked, bureaucratic mess that couldn't change a light bulb without hiring 5000 people, doing a mountain of paper work and finding the one light bulb store on Earth that sells 30 million dollar light bulbs there is always going to opposition to the idea.
On the other hand some people are just selfish, but some of the concerns flying around out there are valid.
