From	Militarist Party
To	Debating the Privatization Of Healthcare
Message	This could cause poverty, in a way. Some people may grow lazy and become unemployed by their own accord just to get free health care. Just be sure not to start handing out welfare checks to the unemployed, or we'll be screwed.

Date	03:31:51, July 17, 2007 CET
From	Liberal Party of Malivia
To	Debating the Privatization Of Healthcare
Message	The Liberal Party lashes out in riposte to the Militarist Party's absurd, backward and medieval comments on welfare by quoting John Stuart Mill. �Since the state must necessarily provide subsistance for the criminal poor while undergoing punishment, not to do the same for the poor who have not offended is to give a premium on crime.�

From	Protectorate Party
To	Debating the Privatization Of Healthcare
Message	By passing the second without the first, we are denying the large middle class access to the majority of health care. pharmaceutical drugs are a large percentage of modern health care, and we cannot have a public system which ignores this portion of care.

From	Militarist Party
To	Debating the Privatization Of Healthcare
Message	OOC: I was just thinking about the way things are in the US, about how welfare checks are given to unemployed, single mothers. In way, it "encourages" prostitution. IC: The Militarist Party will support Article 2, but not Article 1.
