| Message | We will get oligopoly, insurance company`s will merge with each other, a few huge insurance company`s will excist, then there is no more competition. They will work together so that they will get their profit, and they are not acting in the interest of the customer. |

| Message | It is true that oligopoly is the prevalent market situation but even the limited competition there is better than the absent competition, the inefficiency, the bureaucracy, of a state monopoly. Private companies work for their consumers and their shareholders and have to be competitive in a state monopoly people merely do the bare minimum to get their salary. |

| Message | Well that`s not completely true, even when you work for the goverment, there are rules and you have to work hard. Not all civil workers have the 8 till 5 mentality. And a goverment does not need to make profit, commercials etc. etc. so they can cut on that. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
