Description[?]:
| Dear Members of our Senate Privatizing healthcare means no cost on infrastructure as this falls under the hospital itself then. This generates money that can be used to give healthcare for free. Further the government will also check that a hospital makes no profit margin higher then 5%. This because a hospital is working with and for people. The reason they exist should be to help people. Not to make huge profits. Hospitals can get taxcuts from the government if they can show us that they invest regularly in new equipment and research etc so our health care doesn't stop innovating. The government should also help everyone who needs medication. That's why we propose that everyone earning less then 18000SOL a year should get his/her medication payed back by a 100%. People earning morge then 18000 SOL and less then 35000 SOL should get IT payed back by 75%. Everyone earning more then 35000 SOLgets it payed back by 50%. Thank you. Justan Trudo |

| Message | we fully agree with article 2 but health care should remain in the public sector since it is a major important service which works in everyone's interest and the wealthy may use some private care if they want. |
| Date | 13:51:26, July 21, 2017 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party | To | Debating the Healthcare Reform - PLP |
| Message | We implemented some rules so quality and service are insured. Hospitals can make a maximum profit from 5%. They must invest in quality and service every year. In return they get taxcut. And the most important is that it's free fore everyone. |
| Date | 16:41:04, July 21, 2017 CET | From | Labour Social Democrat Party | To | Debating the Healthcare Reform - PLP |
| Message | Hospitals should not be making any money from people being ill. All money a hospital gets if that is public or private funding should all be re invested to improve the lives of all people and this can only happen in the public sector. |
| Date | 18:34:44, July 21, 2017 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party | To | Debating the Healthcare Reform - PLP |
| Message | The government (aka taxpayers) are losing more money by government funding infrastructure and equipment from hospitals etc then by paying a small profit margin. This margin is reduced to only 5%. In the current system only low incomes can profit from free health care. Healthcare is a universal right and should be free for everyone. That's why the progressive liberals opt to privatize health care and spend de money the government now uses to maintain infrastructure etc for the sick ones. |
