| Message | Mr. Speaker, We believe that this bill would maximize efficiency in our healthcare system; reducing wait time, decreasing cost to government and ultimately saving us money needed to balance our budget. The bill keeps healthcare free for citizens while potentially giving our economy a boost. I'm calling for a vote on this immediate as we have a strict timeline laid out and need maximum time to implement it. Ronaldo Del Rio Leader of the Moderates |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This proposition is completely outrageous. How can you believe that government subsidations will comfort the citizens when they have thosands of dollars hospital bill costs? We can cut from somewhere else, and the healthcare is issue is the last option. Therefore we are against this proposition. Lisandro Mata PJ Leader |

| Message | Mr.Speaker, We would say to the honourable leader that we are not reducing any coverage for anyone, we simply believe that by allowing a private healthcare sector instead of a public one, we can have more efficient hospitals. The bill still covers the medical expenses of citizens. Eduardo Mendez Party Chair |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We support this article fully. We would like to see less subsidization from the government though since people can get insurance. We will support this as a start though. Dr. Rosine Avana Shadow Minister for Health & Social Services Conservative, MP |
