| Message | No, a public system in addition to the private sector does not necessarily mean good service. In fact, it sometimes means bad service and a big waste of taxpayer money. As for article 2, perhaps some reform of that is necesary, but the current proposal goes too far. We're sure that pharmaceutical drugs are at low prices through the laws of the free market. |
