For a political candidate, you sure have a poor understanding of history.
The only justification for private discrimination in employment, housing
and service comes from men like David Duke, et. al., who want to keep the
"bad elements" (i.e. Blacks, Jews, Asians, etc.) out of mainstream society.
Remember all white lunch counters, drinking fountains, bathrooms?  Do you
want those back?  Are you prepared to answer this question?

There is this little thing called the Hippocratic oath.  Ever heard of it?
Any doctor who wouldn't jump in to help shouldn't be a doctor in the first
place, and the AMA, all of whose members are doctors, establish the oath.

Not as much as it would if you made it easy to do...
Murder is illegal, but you wouldn't say it doesn't happen today.

Allowing employers to pay $1.00/hr doesn't make it the worker's choice;
it makes it the employers choice, and how are you going to deal with all of 
the people who get screwed over by stingy employers?  Bagging the min wage
will only lead to exploitation, and greater need for gov't intervention.

The fact that it is debatable is scary to me.

The "Republicrats" spent many years solving the problems that your 
"sensible" policies would re-create.
