I'll play devil's advocate here, since I addressed some of these same objections. My responses here are the ones that they gave (not word-for-word quotes, but the substance is the same).

this would mean an er room could refuse treatment to someone based on their race, sexuality, or political beliefs.

There's nothing wrong with that. At worst, there are always other places they can go. At best, this creates a demand that new companies will fill.

the "sheet of glass" quote should be enough to tell you the person you're talking to is dangerously out of touch. i can only take that to mean they are advocating the use of nuclear weaponry.

racist and classist bullshit.

Take a look around. That's what you'll see: minorities at the welfare office, especially asians here in La Crosse. That's what we see, anyway. Even if they aren't the majority here, they're the majority nationwide.

anyone who believes unbiased news can exist needs a wakeup call. news, by the very fact that it is being reported, is necessarily being filtered. if said 'filter' is a corporation, the military (embedded reporters), and television (a many to one medium which requires a high level of entry) there is simply no way for the news not to be biased. anyone who thinks otherwise really needs to kill their television for a few years. hell, so do the people who agree.

Liberals have a stranglehold on all major media outlets; take a look at who owns them. Fox may be owned by conservatives, but it doesn't show up in their programming. That's not the case with the liberal media. You rarely see both sides represented on networks like CNN. Even if the news is always biased, Fox is as even-handed as you're going to get.
