| Message | I fully support both of these proposals. Whereas I would have gone with a less charitable option in article two, this is still fine by me. |

| Message | Of course! About the second article, it would be better to subsides drugs on urgecy base. Giving free life-saving drugs regardless of the income. Anyway the bill is very good as it is. |
