>>Your "substantive points" are just a fantasy that the GOP actually does not want to take way health care away from people -- it's just a baseless ridiculous statement that merits no response.

QED.

>>And back to your healthcare system -- if it works so well for you there then what the hell have you got against us trying it here? Or do you think that's what the GOP is trying to do here lol lol lol ??

I've not said it works well or otherwise, nor do I have automatic prejudice against any system the US might contemplate. No straw men at this end!

Final attempt to convert the demagoguery to rational debate:

Current estimates are that NZ doctors now out-earn their US counterparts in equivalent situations. This is despite NZ spending $1000s less per capita on healthcare and providing universal coverage, including non-accident cover for mostly Pacific non-citizens who are supposed to but in real life are unable to pay the bill, and accident cover for anybody in NZ.

So where is the rest of the US spending going? Answer that and you've got most of the explanation for paralysis of healthcare reform in the US. (Hint: yes, it involves vested interest and $billions flowing into the already bulging pockets of the 1%).
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
