Fair warning: this is to debate, not criticize each other. You know the drill

So since Obama took office, one of his most important priorities is to overhaul and reform the health care system that the US currently has. Some Americans however are not too fond of the idea and look for any way to stop it. In Congress a very similar stance is taking place, with Republicans firmly opposed to the current bill and from the looks of it, it seems like an uphill race.
What are your views on this bill?
Here are mine:
1. For starters, I think that making citizens choose a health care is not OK. Despite many Americans being unable to pay their health bills, it is up to them to decide whether to be insured or not.
2. I find the idea that the budget deficit will increase is a little preposterous. A war makes a budget deficit increase, yet you don't hear people complaining. Did we really need to go to war? No. Do people need health care? Yes. So why protest against something you really need and not against something you don't need?
3. It's not that I'm a Democrat, but I still don't understand how Republicans think they'll win the elections this November just by voting against a bill. Sure, people are upset with Democrats, but let's not forget that Republican policies for 8 years drove the nation into a budget deficit and while resources were spent on TWO wars, at home, barely anything changed. There's a statement Obama mentioned in his State of the Union that I will never forget:
"We cannot wage a perpetual campaign where the only goal is to see who can get the most embarrassing headlines about their opponent – a belief that if you lose, I win. Neither party should delay or obstruct every single bill just because they can. The confirmation of well-qualified public servants should not be held hostage to the pet projects or grudges of a few individual Senators. Washington may think that saying anything about the other side, no matter how false, is just part of the game. But it is precisely such politics that has stopped either party from helping the American people...To Democrats, I would remind you that we still have the largest majority in decades, and the people expect us to solve some problems, not run for the hills. And if the Republican leadership is going to insist that sixty votes in the Senate are required to do any business at all in this town, then the responsibility to govern is now yours as well. Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it’s not leadership. We were sent here to serve our citizens, not our ambitions."
So if Republicans are eager to serve the citizens that elected them (not the companies), then why don't they bring solutions as well? It's easy to say: "No, no no, that's wrong...", but it's even better if you explain why.
