17. How are you helping those that don't have it
by fighting to prevent everyone from having it under the misguided notion that you will no longer have a choice? What makes you think that health insurance for all means less choice? Every single person I've ever known that lived in a country with UH had far better choice than I, and I have damn good insurance. The number of Americans who can claim they have great coverage and lots of choice are dwindling by the month. And you and I are not exempt from losing that.

At least you can vote for politicians. There isn't a damn thing you can do about it if the powers that be at the cushy insurance plan you have now decides you can't see the doctor you're seeing anymore without paying for it yourself. You'll either have to suck it up and pay the entire bill, or switch insurance companies. Your perception that you have a choice is an illusion.
