| Date | 03:02:13, November 27, 2007 CET | From | National Labour Party | To | Debating the Yams |
| Message | The National Labour Party opposes the proposed bill as it will weakens our public service. Healthcare is a right so does the equal access to medication to the citizens. This Bill is going to put the health of our nation's most vulnerable people at risk and jeopardizing with their health is unacceptable. State-Sponsored healthcare is an investment not a cost. |
| Date | 04:45:08, November 27, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Ordo Malleus (COM) | To | Debating the Yams |
| Message | The Imperium of Man opposes the proposed bill based on its inclusion of Articles 3, 4, and 5. Removal of those articles will see our endorsement of this article. Our colleagues in the National Labour Party eloquently stated our views on the aforementioned articles. |
