I suspect it's in part due to polls like this combined with conflict of interest laden corporate media conglomerate scare propaganda.
Require most Americans to pay more in taxes is also unrepresentative or misleading of Medicare for All as most Americans would save more money in the elimination of premiums, deductibles and co-pays than any increase in taxes unless your income is in excess of $250,000.00 under the options that Bernie lists.

"Threaten the current Medicare program" is also misleading as Medicare for All would strengthen and improve Medicare with younger and healthier users added to the pool.

Finally lucre made by for profit "health" insurance corporations is not "profit," so much as blood money.
P.S. Can you name anything that industry contributes to actual health care?
