| Message | We feel this as unnecessary. We have tons of funding put into the Healthcare area, and as of present all citizens get equal pharmaceutical drugs for nothing and we believe it should continue. |

| Message | The problem with distributing these drugs without cost is that the treshhold is just too low. Each time one swallows its pills, the diseases get more resistant |

| Message | RD considers that a good point and shall seriously consider this act. |

| Message | Just because we're giving them without cost doesn't mean were just giving one to everyone on the street. You still need a prescription from a doctor and pharmaceutical approval. The resistance argument has no more validity with this new legislation then the last. |

| Message | This is true, though we know from practice these papers are very easy to get, we can only hope Ikradon does a better job. |
| Date | 10:37:40, October 19, 2007 CET | From | Ikradonian Faith Party | To | Debating the 'deterrent fee' Act 2471 |
| Message | Not all drugs require a prescription. We find this proposal to be a very sensible one, and will vote in favour of it in the Assembly. |
