| Message | Could these two be separated? |
| Date | 21:41:45, August 18, 2005 CET | From | Adam Smith Party | To | Debating the Sensible deregulation: health care |
| Message | The two are not related to one another. We recognise that both refer to health, but one is about medical treatment and the other is about industrial standards. As it happens we support both articles, but they should be in separate bills. |

| Date | 02:01:47, August 19, 2005 CET | From | Adam Smith Party | To | Debating the Sensible deregulation: health care |
| Message | It appears that the current law has changed between our original support and now. We would have supported this over tightly regulated private clinics, but we prefer the government paying only where necessary, so private with low income subsidy is prefered to a general public health care system. |

| Message | Supported, given that the public facilities are "free". |

| Message | Don't you mean: "correction, not supported"? |

| Message | that too... I must have been on something-you can safely ignore my previous posts. TiC will not support a publicly funded healthcare system. Publicly run, but independently funded would be acceptable. |

| Message | If i were the ASP, i would now move a motion of censure against TIC for breaking a commitment... But i'm not. |
