The problem, as identified above, is that most people who say they support "medicare for all" don't know what they're claiming to support. They don't understand what it means. Once you tell them "the only primary provider of health care available to you is the government and private health insurance is no longer allowed", polling drops through the floor. Because there's never been a presidential candidate pushing for single payer, no one seems to have looked terribly closely at it to come to grips with how big a change it is.
