| Message | If we have a solid health care system, as above, it benefits the citizens of United Jakania who don't have the privellage to be able to afford private health care. We should be interested in looking after the people, not filling the governments coffers. |

| Message | It is isn't filling government coffers. Health care should be affordable. Health insurance should be cheap, but when market forces are involved heaily in the health care industry. Doctors get payed well for their services for good reason, the highest paid for the risky surgeries and ICUs. It is a competitive business out there, and stuff is expensive. Plus, it adds another layer of government bueaucracy and could lead to fiscal folly. That is our position and we are voting a strong no! |
