| Message | OOC: While I personally support the corporate healthcare systems, I can't support a bill that doesn't specifically advocate this. If there was an option saying something to the effect of "The government significantly subsidizes and/or gives tax incentives to corporations that provide healthcare for their employees and employee's families", I would gladly support such an option. However, no such option exists. As such, I must decline our support for any change to the status quo until such an option becomes available. |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
