Message | Article 1: this does not ensure that patients are well treated in the public sector. So the logic is flawed. Article 2: we would support this on a separate bill as it gives the same benefits to the high income people as the low income people get. We oppose. |
Date | 02:13:42, February 06, 2008 CET | From | Sekowan Communist Party | To | Debating the DSP.064.2527 (Healthcare Reform) |
Message | CP: The current law doesn't explicitly say that either. At least this would make sure private clinics aren't cutting costs at the expense of the patient. |

Message | Everybody's whining about the post office regulation works against you here :P |
Date | 05:34:26, February 06, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the DSP.064.2527 (Healthcare Reform) |
Message | Pharmaceuticals are one of the most profitable industries in Sekowo. They do not need the government to subsidize them. [Random fact: In the US, pharmaceutical lobbying accounts for a greater portion of the lobbying done to congress than any other field, including defense, civil rights, and media. There's big money in drugs. There's bigger money in getting the government to subsidize your drugs.] |
