Although they did well on not voting for the healthcare bill(s) before, and everyone loved them, I reminded people that the love would go away, because they are, in the end, Republicans and will generally vote for the Republican bills.

The whole health care industry is screwed up, though. What exists isn't working. What's been proposed wouldn't work. Having a for-profit healthcare industry is the problem. As long as that exists, it won't work well, except for the wealthier among us.
