"I'm sorry, but the idea that regulations that prevent businesses from taking advantage of the general public are infringing upon the rights of those businesses is ridiculous."

Because all businesses are guilty until proven innocent, their actual actions not withstanding, right?

"Countries with socialized medicine have healthcare that is far cheaper to both the government and to the public AND of higher quality than we do."

Is that a fact?

You've made a lot of claims, chum. You will now kindly support them with examples.

No; because businesses are run by people, and as such they'll most likely hold their own interests over the well-being of others. It's the same reason we have laws against murder.

I'm familiar with the "death panel"-style myths, and of how they compare to actual data.

Despite spending more on healthcare than anyone else, our average life expectancy is lower, our infant mortality rate is higher, our doctors and nurses per patient are fewer and our overall quality of care are below those of just about every other first-world nation.
