Message | Healthcare should never be private it destroys a country |
Date | 15:07:56, August 10, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian Green Alliance | To | Debating the Quality Health Care Provision Act |
Message | You mean state healthcare under provides for the people, causing them to wait in lines to receive basic medical attention as there is a lack of doctors due to low pay? |
Date | 15:10:24, August 10, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian International Democratic Party | To | Debating the Quality Health Care Provision Act |
Message | Whilst we agree with article 2 and believe that the government should only subsidise pharmaceutical drugs to those on the lowest incomes, so not article 3 totally. Article 1 just isn't realistic and we disagree with it. Article 2 is something we agree with, so proposing that in a separate bill would be useful. Brian Burgmuller Leader of the Republican Party |
