People have been taught to fear single payer healthcare. Money equals speech and the health industry has plenty of it. They control the narrative since the rich and powerful have bought up the media companies. They also control our lawmakers with unlimited money via citizens United; putting roadblocks in place for any sort of fundamental reform.
People vote against their interests as a function of a corrupt oligarchy running the show. People are getting played and just don't know any better / have a limited world-view.
Dead or alive?
