I don't think the average person feels a terribly deep attachment to capitalism per se, but the meme of "Socialism is that evil thing that destroyed the USSR" runs extraordinarily deep, especially among the older crowd.
More specifically, the right wing has been pushing the notion that "socialized medicine" is fundamentally awful for many decades. They seize on every example of a system breaking down to highlight that, and quietly ignore the systems that work generally well.
