Americans are not used to reasonable health care, so I imagine being offered it triggers a "if it seems too good to be true, it is" reaction.
That is what I've gathered from my parents and parents in law, who want health care to improve but do not want to dismantle the current system (the one with private insurers whose only purpose has transformed into skimming money off the top of each time you go to the doctor).
Add universal basic income, gun confiscation, gutting the criminal justice system and reparations to that list. I think there's also a lot of room within medicare for all and environmentally friendly legislation as well. For example medicare for all with no private option is a left leaning version of this idea while being able to keep private insurance is less so. The Green New Deal is a joke though, anyone using that as a foundation for their plans is already on thin ice.
EDIT: Add paying for the college degrees of others to that list as well.
