| Message | Article 1 will reduce premium insurance costs and will help small businesses afford private employer-based health insurance for their employees. Article 1 will also improve quality care. Article 3 will improve life standards and improve average span. |
| Date | 11:24:27, June 27, 2009 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Health Care Coverage Act |
| Message | The Conservative and Morality Party is not in the habit of restricting personal liberty in the name of "life standards". A man's life can only be truely of high standard and value when he is free. We do not see forcing vaccination, which can affect Religious Freedom and Political Freedom, or creating a nanny-state as improved "life standards". |
| Date | 01:55:06, June 28, 2009 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Health Care Coverage Act |
| Message | We strongly encourage all parties to support this bill to expand health care coverage to our citizens and to improve quality. Well, every study will show that vaccinations will help children from catching a monsterous disease or illness. If this legislation fails to pass, it is the biggest disappoinment in federal history. |
| Date | 02:01:02, June 28, 2009 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Health Care Coverage Act |
| Message | I must ask some questions to the Conservative and Morality Party. Do you oppose or support abortion and in what case? Do you support or oppose same sex marriage? |
