| Message | This bill would considerably increase pharmaceutical drug abuse and state's health care expenses in addition of production & marketing of fake bills by criminal groups. We don't think it's healthy society where the government promotes taking pills instead of getting real help for health problems. We oppose this bill. |
| Date | 21:23:08, May 09, 2007 CET | From | Kirlawan Popular Front | To | Debating the Pharmaceuticals Bill of April 2401 |
| Message | Are the Republicans crazy? 1. It would reduce demand for drugs from other sources, and so 'fake bills' (we think they mean 'pills') will be LESS of a problem 2. If the drugs ARE the real help, what is your problem. Are you suggesting that people turn to homeopathy instead? 3. There is no link between this and drug abuse. Yes, it will cost more. That is worth it, if it results in more people being able to afford treatment. |

| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
