since there are approximately 49% who do not pay taxes i expect it is easier to get them to favor public health care.

There are zero percent who don't pay taxes. True some are excluded from Federal income taxes, but most low income folks pay a much higher percentage of their 'discretionary income' in taxes than the rich.

Besides that point 'public health care' doesn't mean 'free health care'; in fact the projection is that the premiums would be higher than private insurance.
