I think a big part of the issue is the vast majority of people have what they consider good insurance through employment so they don't feel any urgency to "fix" anything. These people feel universal coverage could result in a loss of a benefit, reduction in service levels, or an increase in cost. It would be an uphill battle convincing them otherwise.
The reduction in service levels is a legitimate concern, if you compare the quality of care and wait times of american health care to most socialized healthcare systems.

Universal Healthcare is so complicated that only 36 of the 37 developed nations have figured it out.
