| Message | We are wholly opposed to "people on low income" being treated differently. Why should someone who works hard be compelled to pay full price when some sponger gets treatment for free? The current system gives everyone the choice to use the "free" service or pay for a better one. |
| Date | 15:58:30, June 26, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Vodka and Pimm's Party | To | Debating the Health Care Privatization Plan |
| Message | We support completely private healthcare, with no discrimination in favour of the idle poor. |
| Date | 15:58:53, June 26, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Vodka and Pimm's Party | To | Debating the Health Care Privatization Plan |
| Message | (However, we support this 'step in the right direction') |
| Date | 20:36:58, June 26, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Health Care Privatization Plan |
| Message | Nevermind that without healthcare, people die. What makes you think that all the poor are idle? Do you think everyone is somehow getting a huge wage that can pay for anything? |
| Date | 00:36:56, June 27, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Health Care Privatization Plan |
| Message | Since these idle spongers are already being paid by HSM Treasury for staying at home, maybe it's better for the economy if they die from lack of healthcare? |
| Date | 03:10:34, June 27, 2007 CET | From | Teleurstelling Party | To | Debating the Health Care Privatization Plan |
| Message | We already have a public health care system. |
