| Message | We'll oppose as this will do away with regulations to ensure proper treatment. Its nice to see that the JUP does not care if patients get proper treatment or not. Not surprising considering their stance on Tort and the fact they love multi-million tukar lawsuits on doctors, this will not bode well for our healthcare system. |
| Date | 23:55:05, February 26, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Health (Service) Amendment Act |
| Message | We believe the Courts should be able to give damages that are equitable, and that the legislature should, by and large, stay out of it. Private medical providers will still give good care - it's in their best interests. |

| Message | Not if they consistently lose doctors due to malpractice insurance rates. You really really have no clue how this works do you? |

| Message | As predicted, the healthcare of our people never crosses the minds of the ruling parties. |
