PBS is a remnant of an older America that attempted to improve things. It's mostly funded by donations just like national public radio. Both are highly politicized because they have a history of apolitical pursuit of truth and that made them boogeymen of the right. The right has also done some capture of them because of that (much like the bbc).
Also universal healthcare is something we're actively and intensively propagandized against. Despite that it's still more popular than our politicians would have you believe.
Not to mention that America would SAVE money if they had universal healthcare. America pays about 14k$ per capita while the rest of the developed world (who have socialised healthcare) pay between 4-7k$ per capita
Thank you for the information and explanation.
