      I've actually talked to some health insurance drones that told me they'd gladly be out of a job due to universal healthcare.

        Sure. People need to earn a living, after all. I'm talking more about general tendencies (unless you want to be extremely literal about that "always") in how people take in new information. Messing with ego, preconceptions, tribal status or money are great ways to make that really difficult.
