| Message | On second thought, the poor are not paying for their vital drugs anymore. The rest of society can afford to pay for it. |
| Date | 03:29:44, September 17, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Patriots' League | To | Debating the Pharmaceutical Drugs Price Regulation Act |
| Message | We will vote no. Legislation already protects the poorest, no need for further protection. Plus R&D subsidies don't work, so we are no on any such idea. |
