| Message | We disagree. Universalism is paramount and those who will suffer most will likely be the middle-classes who earn less than the rich to whom cost does not matter and yet barely make enough to cover the cost. The middle classes are the skilled workers of our society; the doctors and the teachers and others and we will not stand by an let them be medically disadvantaged. |

| Message | We agree with the FPA. Also, these private clinics must be regulated so that medical procedures and conduct are properly followed. |

| Message | Thank you FPA for some words of wisdom. We must protect the middle class from becoming trapped into the situation where they make too mujch for government aid but not enough to truely afford quality care without large sacrifices. |
