It really is this simple

18. Americans have had a steady diet of propaganda and misinformation

fed to us for a very long time. They have been conditioned to believe that any kind of "socialized" medicine is a bad thing. We have been told lies about how much other countries citizens hate their health care system, even though they have a system that helps make sure they all have access to the system. We have been told that they "ration" their system, even though we do the same thing but just don't call it that. We have been told our system is "the best in the world" even though the statistics do not bear that out. We have been conditioned to believe that anyone can get the health care they need, even undocumented immigrants, if they show up in an emergency room.

There has been a lot of false information given to Americans in order to convince us we don't want a single payer system, even though we have a system already in place that is a single payer---Medicare. Go tell a Senior Citizen you are going to take their Medicare away or make major changes to it and you might have a fight on your hands. Ask one like me who has a good supplemental policy for their Medicare policy who has had major surgery twice for knee replacements that had zero co-pays and I guarantee you will encounter someone who resists making massive changes to my single payer system. (Well, dual pay since it is Medicare plus United Health Care supplemental.)

A re-education campaign needs to be done in order to explain how a single payer really works. Real life examples will help to show how it will affect the average consumer. The propaganda works to bias people against single payer , but they can be re-educated if you do it properly. Once they understand, they will demand it.
