I don't care about the rest of it. Those two statements are so ridiculously myopic. Try to make it personal all you want, it's not. You've said those things as snipey remarks to comments I've made and I simply called you out for it. Nothing more.
You're the one who began to make it personal with this

Look, my first point is that universal health care is a good thing. If any disagree, it's not worth my discussing it.

I can see why some electors might be against it because
a. they are happy as is and have a good plan,
b. they see a raise in taxes or
c. they are misinformed.
From what I've seen and heard, I think it's mostly c. misinformed.

The only reasons I can see the legislature is against it is
a. they are happy as is and so don't give a crap.

b. they are trying to protect their taxpaying voters from higher taxes. (If anyone actually believes this, somewhere there is a Brooklyn Bridge for sale.)

c. they are beholden to private health care providers and the health care companies are beholden to Wall Street and rely on them for election funds.

I pick c. they are being paid off by private health care in one way or another.
