| Message | We would support a medicaid system for the working lower class and middle class as well as free preventive medicine and routine check-ups for minors upon entering each school years. It would be very costly to initiate a complete nationalization of healthcare, it is expensive and impractical and to ban private clinics in which the wealthy and forcing the wealthy to use the national healthcare system will only add undue stress in the system that would be detrimental to the people who need free/cheap healthcare. We are strongly against this, the current proposal in place will do this nation just fine. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
