| Message | It's simple economics. When healthcare is private, many companies will compete. When the companies compete, prices go down and quality of service goes up. I will fight with every fiber of my being to keep this nation from becoming a Communist run nation. |

| Message | That's bad economics, private companies exist to make a profit therefore less of the resources spent on healthcare go to healthcare as they are lining the pockets of the shareholders. |

| Message | Health care is important in our Nation. We need to provide free public health care as private health care is all about making profits and have little regard for the health of our Nation. There is private health care allowed but regulated to make sure its not just run by greedy businessmen out to make a quick buck. |

| Message | Yes, of course, let's bring back that massive drain on our budget. |
