| Message | Why should we ban private health clinics? There is no explanation that can justify that. Fewer patients drain the resources of the state health service which means a better service can be provided to them. |

| Message | WHIP would like to see a more amenable financial plan instituted alongside supporting public health care and education. As it stands, we must vote in favor of this bill for the good of the Empire. Should the Ministry of Finance increase spending allowances for public health care, we will reconsider this measure. We will support this bill. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
