| Message | We would definitely support this bill if the proposal for Article One was changed to "There is a public health care system, but private clinics are allowed." The current proposal involves too much government reglulation as Lodamun must constantly check on private clinics. This option would end up costing a greater amount of money and too much hassle for the government. |
