| Message | if the people want their healthcare without worrying about a corporation, then they can use our national healthcare system. it's all a matter of personal choice, which is a concept many on here don't seem to comprehend. |

| Message | But that choice limits the health care, one CAN get better by corporate health care by paying more for it, if we have the same standard everywhere the people will feel safer even with less economic resources. |
| Date | 22:29:34, November 11, 2007 CET | From | Gilded Rose Party | To | Debating the Public Healthcare |
| Message | Having a purely public healthcare system will prevent competition. The system will stagnate and bloat and become more costly to the government of Valruzia, and in turn, its citizens. A healthy competition not only allows for free choice, but forces efficiency and accountability through a free and open market. |
