| Date | 07:06:02, March 25, 2010 CET | From | Alliance/Workers Party | To | Debating the healthcare reform act |
| Message | We personally believe that the private healthcare industry cannot be trusted to stand by itself because the private healthcare center is largely for-profit, resulting in your private clinic being more interested in the profit that you as a customer makes, rather than treating you as the equal human being that you are. |
| Date | 17:50:27, March 25, 2010 CET | From | Tea Party | To | Debating the healthcare reform act |
| Message | If we allow some people to use privet health care then it will free up more money for universal health care. |
| Date | 02:22:16, March 26, 2010 CET | From | Alliance/Workers Party | To | Debating the healthcare reform act |
| Message | By allowing private care, we allow more bureaucracy-the health insurance corporate democracy-to add to the cost of healthcare. |
| Date | 17:46:23, March 26, 2010 CET | From | Tea Party | To | Debating the healthcare reform act |
| Message | Shouldn't we give people the choice in their health care? Shouldn't we give people the right to chose? |
| Date | 22:28:26, March 27, 2010 CET | From | Alliance/Workers Party | To | Debating the healthcare reform act |
| Message | The people will be allowed to choose. If everyone was in one government program, then all physicians, nurses, etc. will serve the people in the program. This means that all people will be able to CHOOSE what physician, nurse, hospital, etc. they can have, since all of these services and the doctors and nurses serve everyone through the public universal program. |
| Date | 22:31:02, March 27, 2010 CET | From | Alliance/Workers Party | To | Debating the healthcare reform act |
| Message | Furthermore, if some physicians were in private programs, then only those with the money to be in the private plan will have access to that doctor. |
