| Message | That is what we have heavy regulative measures for, to curb profiteering and ensure that private clinics provide adequate and affordable health care. |

| Message | The private sector is sometimes better at handling localised demands for health care, whilst the state provides in more populated areas. So, no. We cannot ban private health-care. |

| Message | Oh, in small towns, villages, parishes, my friend. Places small enough for the state to occasionally forget. In those places, private GPs are more often than not more efficient that for the state to run a clinic. |
