| Message | Article 1: Health care is, for the GCPK, a human right so we have to make it totally free to concentrate the best doctors in our hospitals. Article 2: We can't enforce people to give their organs to us. Article 3: We need to control the sport clubs because some of them have a lot of money that should be useful to the Kazulian peoples. |

| Message | Article 1: Free healthcare is a burden on all, and you'll find people inventing illnesses just because going to the hospital is free. Article 2: We are not enforcing anything on them: They're dead. Article 3: Well, maybe.. |
| Date | 18:29:08, September 19, 2007 CET | From | CSA Communist Party of the DPRK | To | Debating the Health changes |
| Message | well change 2 in a later bill |
| Date | 19:18:19, September 19, 2007 CET | From | Unified People's Front | To | Debating the Health changes |
| Message | Doesn't need changing in my opinion |
| Date | 19:24:05, September 19, 2007 CET | From | Green Communist Party of Kazulia | To | Debating the Health changes |
| Message | I like both articles 2 (the actual and the future) but I think that in Kazulia, a country that has religious freedom, we cannot force muslims, christians and all other religious peoples to do what they can't do if they follow their respective religions |
| Date | 23:10:25, September 19, 2007 CET | From | Communist Workers' Party | To | Debating the Health changes |
| Message | We believe that organ donation should be mandatory. If people want to believe in religions, fine, so long as their belief in an imaginary afterlife doesn't interfere with the preservation of real life here on Earth. |
| Date | 04:10:55, September 20, 2007 CET | From | Demokratisk Pacifist Partiet | To | Debating the Health changes |
| Message | Article 1:As long as there's a public system, I see no reason why private clinics should be banned. After all, private clinics wouldn't succeed alongside a public system in the first place if the people didn't want them. Article 2:I agree with this. Although I would love for people to donate their organs, we shouldn't force them to. I'd prefer a system that assumes consent unless the person says otherwise, though. People still have a choice, but those who don't bother to declare theirs still help others after death. Article 3:Again, I see no reason to ban private sports clubs when we still have public clubs anyway. |
