| Message | Mr. Speaker As much as I like this idea, the amount of protests that would result from the interference would be great. I am fine with article 2, but will only agree with this if the government does not regulate the prices. I may be willing to let this go all together, if you give a good reason to disagree with me, and don't call me a reactionary pig in the process. Lets be civil. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Well it seems that for once the Alorian Logical Peoples' Party and my party may potentially be able to agree on policy, we would advocate this policy to the ALPP because Red Aloria holds the strong democratic belief that no matter the wealth of a certain person, they have no better a right to life than any other member of society. What private hospitals say to people is that if you can afford it, you deserve better than anyone in our country, which is fundamentally ar odds which a non-germanica heritage. |
