| Message | In defence of the first article, the current legislation bans private clinics. We won't overturn the previous decision to have a public healthcare system, we just believe that it is entirely wrong to ban free enterprise. We'll remove the other two proposals and put then in a different bill and go for both a public and private healthcare system. |

| Message | Forgive me, the legislation has actually changed since I last checked but still isn't exactly promoting free enterprise. We'll continue with article 1 as planned. |
