| Message | Privatising health care completely merely forces people to re-evaluate whether they use said health care or not. In so doing this potentially risks damaging the health of our nation without any improvements to health care system. Moreover, the suggestion that the government should, by paying for people on low incomes health care needs, subsidise private companies is intolerable. If the government is expected to pay for health, or any other service, then the government should operate said services. Allowing private companies to charge whatever they wish with the understanding that the government will "bail them out" through subsidisation makes a business that should be operated as a public good rather than a for profit basis inefficient and ineffectual. |

| Message | This bill will increase corruption tenfold as it is common knolegde that private healthcare only serves the rich whilst's leaving the majority of people with inadequat healthcare. |
