| Message | Mr Speaker, The effect of Article 2 is essentially a guaranteed income for the pharmaceutical companies so that they may charge more. Prices will fall should we pass this bill. Otherwise more just above the poverty line will be further impoverished. I implore you to vote yes. |

Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
