| Message | The Dynex Party does not support this bill. We believe the current policy fits our citizens' need best. As a side note - Please give your bill's proper titles. Having them titled Bill #1, Bill #2, etc. is very aggravating and confusing. Also, descriptions would be nice as well. |
| Date | 05:33:33, January 19, 2006 CET | From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Bill #2 |
| Message | The current policy is appropriately generous and should not be scaled back. |
| Date | 13:13:33, January 19, 2006 CET | From | Ultimate Freedom Party | To | Debating the Bill #2 |
| Message | Healthcare should be available to all, regardless of their finacial situation. If we force the poor to pay for their medicine, we are drastically reducing their welfare. Our party votes no. |
