I don't think I read a single comment from a person not living in the US that was negative about universal healthcare. US citizens are programmed to fear their government and it's incompetence. Still we pay them 15.3% of our wages for retirement and post retirement healthcare. We trust them with nuclear weapons and we think they are incompetent to handle administering health care. Well if that is correct we should find a new government because this one is not working too well.
The fear of all things socialized is a selective tool used to raise fears in Americans. Many things are already socialized in the US and I doubt you would want a private military (although this administration is close with it's very well paid contractors in Iraq) etc.
American believe the propaganda because they have been lied to for so long about the superiority of the US life that they cannot question that other countries might have better solutions to the same problems. From my first trip out of the USA I realized the US was NOT the perfect nation state taught in the schools.
