| Message | Hmm, beacuse of the continued inclusion of the private-public option, this will override the bill that I proposed when that passes. I suppose that for the rest of the articles in the bill I am willing for that to happen for a short time, then I shall reintroduce the reforms once this has passed. Or anyone else (such as the DNCP) can do so and I will vote in favour.... |
