I don’t think that’s true. What US voters don’t want is the level of care you get from a doctor who takes Medicaid. A single payer system can work here but because of how bad the “poor people doctors” treat patients it’s going to require some convincing.

I don’t see US voters complaining about Medicare, which is basically taxpayer funded healthcare for hospitals after you’re 65.

Medicaid is intentionally handicapped since it’s a poor person program and poor people don’t have good political representation.

“For hospitals” is just Part A. And, “over 65 or disabled”.
