We believe that a Private Healthcare System will save our nations billions of dollars.

Date | 01:05:21, October 12, 2005 CET | From | Solentian Corporate Communist Party | To | Debating the Solentian MediCare Initiative |
Message | What is wrong with SolentiCare? It benefits all the Solentian people and not those that just happen to be low income. For those that do not feel comfortable with a public health facility, there are several private clinics. |
Date | 01:27:01, October 12, 2005 CET | From | National Socialists | To | Debating the Solentian MediCare Initiative |
Message | We confide in the current free and regulated care system combined with the small private sector. It works. |
Date | 04:03:28, October 12, 2005 CET | From | Patriot Conservative | To | Debating the Solentian MediCare Initiative |
Message | No it doesn't. It costs billions of dollars to fund. |
Date | 05:21:52, October 12, 2005 CET | From | National Socialists | To | Debating the Solentian MediCare Initiative |
Message | The lowest health rate is 851/1000 in Tesuhen, and three others perform exceptionally well above 900/1000. The NS applauds the health care system as long as it delivers a healthy and strong people. However, the expenses of this system might eventually become a concern indeed. In return for happy and healthy citizens, we would then have to compensate the taxes. |
Date | 05:53:00, October 12, 2005 CET | From | Patriot Conservative | To | Debating the Solentian MediCare Initiative |
Message | The people who can afford health care don't need the government controlling it. This socialism must stop. |
Date | 22:37:38, October 12, 2005 CET | From | National Socialists | To | Debating the Solentian MediCare Initiative |
Message | Observing the most recent measures taken and bills proposed, and after reconsidering your proposal, we think it could be given a term. We must however remain very watchful on possible sideeffects on the people's health. |

Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
