| Message | We like you believe this policy is against our other policy "The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries." For this reason we think it should be reformed. |

| Message | I normally would support this, however, I believe that Orphan drugs should be subsidized, as they are crucial to many people who suffer from rare diseases. Having orphan drugs be at the mercy of the market would make costs of these drugs unaffordable, and many people would be unable to receive proper treatment. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
