| Message | The JLSP has two areas where it is less willing to compromise regarding privatisation, and those are education and health. These are sectors where we believe there must be a motivation other than profit. We must protect patients from being treated by doctors interested only in their wallet. The people in Jakania have a right to select a doctor that they know works only for them, not for investors, and performs his duties because he wants to, not because he wants to make money. The JLSP congratulates the LP on providing provisions to ensure that such services are available to as many people as possible, but we believe that the option of private or public practise should be left to individuals. We would be willing to compromise and vote for deregulation of the private sector, but we could not support the scrapping of the public institution. |

| Message | IMHO, profit motive increases quality, if people do not work towards a profit, what do they works towards? |

| Message | (Most shallow arguement ever. Are you trying to argue against capitalism or does it just happen by accident?) |

| Message | (that latest comment made no sense, of course I am not arguing against captialism, I am arguing against having government agencies instead of private agencies.) |
