| Date | 21:07:29, May 17, 2010 CET | From | Utilitarian Party of Solentia | To | Debating the National Health Care policy |
| Message | Death? The budget is enough to attend emergencies; the true nature of the current system is that the public health system works just as any other private corporation. Gratuity is against the interests and free health only diminishes the quality and encourages corruption in government offices. |
