Because in an ideal world with a very small military, a non-crumbling infrastructure, no illegal immigrants, and no greed, I would be ok with it as long as intelligent people ran it.
Since the U.S. is far off from those things, just doesnt seem practical.
This post is, again, conflating universal healthcare and single-payer. Single-payer is one way to achieve universal healthcare/coverage, but they are not synonyms. For instance, the ACA was an attempt at achieving universal healthcare, but it was not single-payer. It is a miserable failure of a policy, but it was an attempt.
