Message | Secretary Anderson (OOC: Conservative Party), I ask you, as the Secretary of State for Health and Social Services how you plan to end our national health service, are you going to break it up and redistribute it among whichever companies promise to donate to you reelection campaign. Or are you just going to shut it down, making millions of people unemployed and trust to the free market (which has long been shown to be bad at providing healthcare) to save the day and magically begin to provide healthcare to everyone from day one after this bill passes. Dr. John Ashword Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Services |
