The people who avoid care they need because they can't afford it are a very small portion of the population that gets an outsized share of attention on the issue.

Until public healthcare advocates understand this and make actual attempts to convince the majority of people who are satisfied with the current system that there are benefits, the status quo will remain.

I'm not convinced that your assumption that they are a very small portion of the population holds up, but I only have the same anecdotal evidence you likely have.

Half the population does not vote. This is the problem socialists have- how do you get the underclass to exercise their power against the bourgeois?
