| Message | The KDL are hugely supportive of the KHS and the great work that it does, so must strongly rise against this measure. |
| Date | 21:00:12, November 12, 2013 CET | From | Kirlawan People's Justice Party | To | Debating the Health Care Reform |
| Message | We completely agree with the KDL, but even more strongly so, in their virtuous protest against yet another hideous proposal of the evil "DFM". Health care should be a right for all citizens, and not merely a privilege for the rich. |
