| Message | NO NO NO! It is not the governments job to provide healthcare, leave it to the private sector. This would enlarge our national debt and cause many private clinics to go out of business. |

| Message | I must agree with National Libertarian Party, this cannot pass. Enlargening our national debt is undesirable especially on healthcare. |

| Message | You speak of healthcare as though it is just another type of expenditure. It's not. People are unable to work through sickness and so are dipping below the poverty line and so not producing tax revenue. |
