| Message | What about those who cant afford insurance or cant get insurance? What about them? You are basically dooming our senior citizens to a life of poverty. Lets not forget, you greedy insurance company buddies dont pay for ALL of the drugs... just some of it. A person shouldnt have to chose between groceries and RX drugs. A person shouldnt have to chose between dieing of starvation or dieing from a disease. You are a very cruel party BLP... |

| Message | "What about those who cant afford insurance or cant get insurance? What about them? You are basically dooming our senior citizens to a life of poverty." Again, you are exaggerating. Basically people are presonsable for their own deeds. They can always be insured but if people choose not to it there own responsibility. Of course we have private charities they can go to. "Lets not forget, you greedy insurance company buddies dont pay for ALL of the drugs... just some of it. A person shouldnt have to chose between groceries and RX drugs. A person shouldnt have to chose between dieing of starvation or dieing from a disease." When there are people there is a market. People always have a choice. |

| Message | Thank you to the Left Labor Party for so very accurately pointing out what this bill would do. People will die because of this bill. In countries that have private healthcare, not everyone has insurance, those people don't go to see a doctor because it will cost money, do without medicine because they can't afford it, its just sickening to think in the modern age that no provision is made for the poor. |

| Message | MIP: Do you really think that the poor are not able to pay for medicine ? May be their priorities are not right and have been spoilt by the government. |

| Message | Yes. We really think they cant. You are de-subsidizing drugs, and so prices go up. And you take away their support. They are not rich like you BLP... they are not greedy. They cannot afford both. |
