| Message | 1. destroys women's rights. So no there, 3. I can deal with, but I'm not for banning all private. We can tax the private clinics, therefore increasing revenue. |
| Date | 08:37:34, January 21, 2008 CET | From | Kafuri Socialist Party | To | Debating the KSP Health Bill |
| Message | No, it just limits them. There should be a limit as to how late a woman can choose to get an abortion. Especially if we are trying to actively promote population growth. Why not? Health care should not be for profit. |
| Date | 08:50:50, January 21, 2008 CET | From | The Kuchifey Liberation Party (KLC) | To | Debating the KSP Health Bill |
| Message | Well, firstly, we're not for rapid population growth. Plus, unwanted pregnancies bring upon an immense amount of emotional problems, increases poverty, and extenuates capitalist social structure. And if our citizens want to pay extra for private health care, who's to stop them? We are in favor of letting choice be the main priority, not forcing them into a certain structure. Otherwise, what's the point of democracy? And the regulations can make it so that tax is 99% of private facilities. That way, the government makes bank, and checks the profit health institutions can make. |
| Date | 08:57:57, January 21, 2008 CET | From | Kafuri Socialist Party | To | Debating the KSP Health Bill |
| Message | How would unwanted pregnancies extenuate (to underestimate, underrate, or make light of) capitalist social structure? Us. The point of democracy? To annoy me I think. Why bother in that case? No one would open any private health care facilities in a country with 99% corporate tax in the first place. Our citizens should ultimately not have ANY money. Health institutions should make NO profit. None. |

| Message | I used the wrong word. My knowledge of the English language escapes me when I'm tired. We're not communist, we're socialist. We are for some money, thus personal drive, and also regulations, to fund the government, and provide real help to the citizens. |
| Date | 09:09:03, January 21, 2008 CET | From | Kafuri Socialist Party | To | Debating the KSP Health Bill |
| Message | Yeah, I've been considering a name change. |
