| Message | We disagree, once again, with this proposal. We beliebe in the right to choose, the right of private enterprises, but in a regulated economy. I find it funny though. When you needed us to vote for your bills, you would quite happily compromise, but now that you have a full majority? Well, I am sorry that this has happened to you, power has corrupted to you. |

| Message | we are willing to go with a lesser term of having both private and public system but with the stipulation we want the private sector to be regulated heavily to ensure they can keep up with the public system. |
