| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill will allow the people to have a choice in healthcare. Let us face fact, every year the number of those covered by insurance drops because of continued increases in the amount of funds that the private sector charges for health insurance and coverage. The Medical Associations along with the Insurance Companies are by far the most corrupted in our nation by simply slowly draining the population of its ability to provide healthcare needs to those of low income families. No company and no Government should stand by and watch as the Medical Corporations feed off the innocent and do nothing to stop them. The Rutania Revolutionary Party intends to make a stand here and now against those that would use sickness and illness as a means to steal from the population. Signed, Nathenal Ellioton Prime Minister |
