5. Will it clarify the differences?

It will be crystal clear that every Republican to a number is against healthcare reform and definitely against universal single payer coverage.

Can you say the opposite about the Democrats? How many of them are on the record, for Universal Single Payer coverage? Unless you can say that the platform of the Democratic party, and/or the votes of all of it's members go towards supporting Universal Single Payer coverage, then no this will not clarify the positions of the political parties.

May the best argument win? Hell we have a Democrat appointed Solicitor General arguing on behalf of a GODDAMNED REPUBLICAN HEALTHCARE PLAN, and we can't even seem to do THAT right and win that argument. Does anyone honestly think that we'll have any more luck arguing something that no Republicans and not even a good chunk of Democrats are in favor of?
