MessageProviding a service is not wealth redistribution.

OOC: Have you been listening to John McCain just a bit too much there?

MessageWe echo the statement of the Seawave party. Perhaps the FRP employees should learn the meaning of the term \"wealth distribution\".

MessageYes it is. The government steals from everybody to provide a \"service\" that not everybody will use. Even the governments are ineffecient, so we must limit where the government acts. The private sector, as it is motivated by money, will perform better services. it is regulated by the laws of the market and competition, so it will provide a fair service. Lastly, private institutions cannot raise taxes if they require more funds, which means they are obliged to be as efficient as possible. All citizens require health care. As where there is a demand, there will be an offer, all our citizens can afford to pay for healthcare. To keep taxe rates low and the economy booming, we cannot affor to subsidize health care. We wish only to make \"de jure\" what is already \"de facto\".

OOC: Actually, I am not in any way for McCain, he is really a poor excuse for a conservative.

MessageWealth redistribution is simply theft via government. Theft is when A takes coercive action against B to take property. For a government to \"provide a service\" (which is in itself a misnomer), it must do exactly that -- take money from A (through taxes) to give to party B (whoever uses those services). Even if members of Party A use the service \"provided,\" the money was stolen from them.

MessageWe have adjusted the bill to make it more acceotable to the PIL, could the UP tell us if it is aceeptable to them as well?

MessageHealthcare is a right, not a privilege. All should be provided access, as is present.

MessageHealthcare is not a right. Positive rights cannot logically exist.

MessageHealthcare is not a right but we ask the MAU to reconsider. The proposal would reduce the government\'s role in healthcare.

MessageReconsider what? We are still voting for this bill, as it is not the government\'s responsibility.

OOC: the no vote was a mistake, sorry.
