| Message | Unfortunately, as much as we found the other bills acceptable, we're not sure how a taxpayers' club will appeal to those who would say on private care anyway. |
| Date | 13:43:11, March 06, 2006 CET | From | Fight For Your Right To Party | To | Debating the National Health Service Act |
| Message | I'm not happy with this half-measure business. Either we should keep it entirely private, in which case at least health care will probably be good, or we should go the whole (socialist) hog and have a completely state-funded system. |
| Date | 10:06:59, March 07, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the National Health Service Act |
| Message | The Libertarian party discourages introducing a public healthcare system, particularly if all members of society were required to pay in the form of increased taxes for a service that they may not choose to use. |
| Date | 17:35:58, March 09, 2006 CET | From | Pontesi Fascist Coalition | To | Debating the National Health Service Act |
| Message | An easy way to get me toward my normal position on government size. I'll take a yes order. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
