It's an issue that became politicized, and people are prone to react negatively to things that are politicized, regardless of the non-partisan nature of it. It's the ultimate in-group bias

It's something that's associated with communism, which most Americans view as a toxic word. It's a word used to taint any idea that someone might disagree with, and it's true in the case of universal healthcare.

Regardless of how wonderful it is, as long as people refuse to do the research and think for themselves, they'll feel animosity towards things that they associate with different political systems or ideologies
