I don't think you understand what people disliked about the idea.

They understood that it was being replaced. Nobody ever pretended like health care was going away and being banned. People weren't assuming that. That would be nonsensical.

People thought the bill was going to be about a Medicare option for all, but then it came out as forced Medicare for all. People didn't like that.

It wasn't fear mongering, people just didn't like that. It's demonstrably unpopular, and this isn't news to anyone who has been paying attention.

Your error is assuming that everyone is a rational actor and is doing the research to make an informed decision.

This is simply not the case and it's naive to think otherwise.
