Your last point, I think I will adopt it into my argument for healthcare, because that's pretty mch pwns most objections without merit.
Now granted I've not been fond of any plans I've seen so far, but I think it's because they ignore social and financial realities and do not fix the errors other federal plans have made, not because I think the idea in and of itself is not worthwhile.
But of course in congress all intelligent debate is eclipsed by hysteria on both sides. One the one hand if you support it at all for any reason you are "facist," (or a nazi or a communist pisk one *eyeroll*) but on the other of you opposse it at all for any reason you are "evil" and "hate poor people," and "have no soul."
With such well thought out debating points as those, we're never going to get anywhere >.>
