| Message | I disagree with this proposal quite vehemently. There is NO reason to ban private industry! Private industry alongside free healthcare provides healthy competition WITHOUT hurting the poor or downtrodden. Competition leads to lower prices and higher quality care. Also, health and safety laws should be left to local governments. Local governments understand the needs of the people better than national governments. Why should a Magadonian farmer make decisions for a citizen of inner-city Clearwater? They are different cultures with different needs. Local governments should determine policy. Article 1 I agree with... Article 4 I'd rather not have, but could survive. |
